The National Anthems

I can't remember who linked to this guy, but I agree with what he says. This country actually has three national anthems. Only one of them may be the official recognised anthem, but all three are needed.

America at Peace, America Bleeding, and America Marching.

I'm not entirely comfortable with The Battle Hymn but that means that I get it. You're not supposed to be comfortable with it. It's a challenge. It's a slap in the face to the complacent.

I think we need to sing the Battle Hymn of the Republic a little bit more these days.
