I guess that very many of us are bad Americans. As an addition to this, How many people know......that there is a FOURTH VERSE to the "Star Spangled Banner"? This was in a recent edition of USA TODAY in an ad sponsored by Paul Harvey( The rest of the story).
"Oh thus be it ever,when freemen shall stand
Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust!"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"
Francis Scott Key, 1814
