Saw this in Reader's Digest:
Dayna Steele was attending a basketball game and standing at attention during the Star-Spangled Banner when she was distracted by nearby people chatting and guzzling beer. The song was especially personal to Steele, who knew of a Jamaican national in Iraq who always choked up at the sound of the American anthem.
"How lucky we are that so many have given their lives to protect our freedom."
She hatched a plan in which U.S. servicemen in Iraq would videotape a "pro-anthem" message. Her website, operationnationalanthem.com, now offers the videos free for use before any public event at which the anthem will be played.
