Last year, my beloved friend Huntmode, on her Chasing Rabbit Holes blog, posted this video of the Star Spangled Banner. A lot has happened since last year. My friend and a friend to many, Huntie died May 15 of this year. She was a true patriot and loved this country and all the people in it.
In memory of this good friend and because we have such a wonderful country that we love, let’s crank this up and sing it, shout it with our hearts. Let’s come together as Americans – not special Americans, but Americans who truly love this country. And Huntie, I know you will be singing this with us.
Happy 4th of July. God bless America. God bless us all. And let us sing as one and pray for healing for our country. And thank a veteran!!!!!!

Thank you. She died suddenly of COPD. I am comforted knowing she can now breathe freely and sing this loud and proud. I miss her every day.
