Maybe not owning a TV is why that man always has the best observations and has had more time to gain wisdom without watching some of the silly things that we watch on TV.
@@marywood8794 yes I agree. I do watch tv, but not very much, mostly silly game show or news, so it is information or silly and I know it. But I spend so much time on CZcams I think I forget about tv sometimes
@@marywood8794 yeah it's kind of a catch 22 for me. I am like you and understand that all the gadgets we have and grew up on don't ever give us a moment to actually just reflect and think on life. The only time I actually reflect and think on life is when something rotten takes place and it knocks me out of my rut for a moment so that I have no choice but to pay attention and take a situation more seriously.. Fromom the time we wake until the time we fall asleep, we're constantly doing something that distracts us from things that are probably much more important at the end of the day. I remember as a small child and 9/11 took place. All of a sudden every American seemed to be United. The churches and other religious centers began to fill up a bit more than ever in recent memory. People were friendlier to one another for a few weeks or maybe even days alone It took something like that so ruckus out of our drunken stupor and think of more important things then my gaming system or whatever it may be that sidetracks us from the time we're awake to the time we doze off. I was just a little kid during 9/11 but I remember how people changed for a while. And everything kind of went right back to the way it was before. Great observation by you about that oldest man in this video. He has no distractions of technology. He's more in touch with nature, I know that sounds corny cliche but it really is true. So you banged it right on the head with your observation of that guy. What's so unique to me is how they are speaking in simplistic terms like kids that are very young. They're describing things that they don't understand in the best words they can. Big sample would be the dungeon on the ship and the one man said that's like a portable jail. I subscribed to this channel because I just watched a couple other ones before and it's just bizarre in a good way how simplistic their Outlook is and how poorly informed they are on Western civilization and things we just take for granted. I think this might be the third or fourth one of binge-watched LOL. Like I said earlier, the whole technology is a catch-22 because I'm so used to it and grew up on it that I almost feel naked or helpless without having that phone in my pocket for any given reason and any moment need be. I'm going to wrap it up and I'm very sorry this was so long but I'm feeling a little passion and I'm using speech to text so I'm just spitting words and not worrying about grammar, as you can tell not worrying about run-on sentences or paragraphs Etc. Everything's just speech to text and I noticed you saw something that most haven't mentioned about that older man picking up on certain things. I watched a Mister Rogers one before this and then I watched them view we are the world song. That one was funny because the guys kept talking about certain famous singers and saying that looks like so and so my friend from the village. It was just funny but so simplistic and real that I'm going to share this joint. Anyways if you're still reading thanks and I'm sorry ended up being so long but again it was speech to text and I am a passionate guy. You wouldn't happen to be a Scorpio would you or maybe cancer? Scorpios have the tendency to notice things that other people seem to miss. I'm not all big into astrology that much but I'm a Scorpio and I've noticed it's true for me. Good observation or good eye is to say in sports
@@choice12ozborne Wow! It's a good thing that I always type my comments or they would all be that long, too! Lol I have had a few that were nearly as long, even with typing them, but that's usually in comment sections on something more political or frankly depressing than this channel. Yes, I'm a Scorpio-November 12th-and I'm not into that stuff either, so I had to double check if I even was one! I live in the U.S., was 24 and married, with a brand new baby, when 9/11 happened, so I remember what it was like before phones were always in our pockets and we weren't always staring at a screen. Sometimes I get so annoyed with the technology that I tell people that I must secretly be an 85 year old in a 45 year olds' body! My 20 year old son and I talk about it all the time. Just yesterday I was paying for my cell phone online and the company's site wasn't working right, so I had to enter all of my information several times. I started muttering...I often find myself doing that...especially at the self check out registers at the grocery store. Yes, I'm that crazy lady that talks back to the cash register at the self check out! Lol My 20 year old (I have 2 teen sons, too), said "I know, right, if you could just call or mail it, you'd all ready be done". I think maybe he's secretly 45! Lol For all that we have gained from this technology...my quick Google search of Scorpio birth dates...we oddly seem to have lost how connected we used to be, especially in times of crisis. Yesterday, during our conversation about the cell phone thing, my son and I agreed that the benefits of all of this online stuff doesn't seem to out way the annoyance or the negatives. Ironically, he doesn't remember a time when we didn't have this stuff! Look at how divided we are as a country right now. People get online and anonymously spew their hate filled crap. We should be uniting like after 9/11 to fight the pandemic, but we've become a nation so filled with hatred for anyone that doesn't think exactly as we do, that we can't find empathy for anyone. A world without empathy is a truely dangerous place. With age, there definitely should be wisdom. The man in this video with white beard (sorry, but I don't know his name), is a great example of that. Unfortunately, lately many of our elderly leaders (presidents and members of congress) are not. Oops I'm heading back towards those politics that raise my blood pressure again...I watch channels like this one to regain my sanity from all the horrible political crap in this country. Watching comedy shows from the U.K. on CZcams helps, too. I recommend Would I Lie To You, Taskmaster, The Big Fat Quiz, and 8 out of 10 Cats (=categories) or 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown, as some good non-political ones to watch. If you don't mind some of our politics and a lot of theirs (at least they have problems, too), Mock the Week and the Russell Howard Hour are good, too. If you haven't seen the Bob Ross of PBS "happy trees" fame video on this channel, it's really great, too! I'm not sure which Mr. Roger's one that you saw on this channel. During the one with the boy in a wheel chair, we learn that one of the men reviewing the video has a disabled child and he truly appreciates how Mr. Rogers treats the boy the way that you should treat any boy, disabled or not. See...EMPATHY...we've got to get it back somehow! Mr. Rogers must be doing somersaults in his grave! See...I'm not too shabby myself at the crazy long comments! Lol At least this one was mostly positive. I think that you still beat me though! Have a great day or night wherever you might be!
@@choice12ozborne I am a Scorpio, we make excellent police detectives, scientists and physicians because of our observational skills. I was 16 when 9/11 happened, my Ma woke me after the first plane hit and at that moment everyone (in the general public) still thought it was a tragic accident, then we saw the second one hit and of course knew. Then the Pentagon and of course the heroes who sacrificed themselves to take down the one headed for D.C.. I still remember every emotion, from shock, to pain, to rage and sorrow. At the time we lived on the Island of Palm Beach and there was an endless drone of fighter jets patrolling the coast. It was the first time in my life that I ever experienced a sense of being truly unsafe. Americans turned their pain into love for one another for the most part and it was beautiful. I wish that the country could return to that but it seems impossible now.
This was VERY eye-opening for me as an American. I am 58 yrs old & was taught the history of our national anthem. I was absolutely amazed to learn that there are people who either don't know their national anthem or have forgotten it. Most Americans over the age of 35 have The Star Spangled Banner ingrained in us at a very early age. Thank you for not just playing the Banner for these wonderful people, but also reminding them of their own.
It's pitiful that he labeled ALL American as not knowing what the anthem is about. It's total B.S. and it pissed me off. Just the youngsters now don't give a damn so they're the ones that don't have a clue.
@@getin3949 you can compare it to the people who try to make blanket statements about people who live in the middle east. Remember most of these people don't have access to media and their knowledge stems from stereotypes and rumors. Just like in the states or anywhere else in the world who make stereotypes based on the same thing
I was taught four stanzas but we mostly sang the first and fourth ones. I imagine that not many would sing the fourth stanza today since it mentions God and the people's trust in Him.
Not one of our greatest resources. It's one of our greatest disabilities. Patriotism is good. Nationalism is bad. This video isn't historically accurate, which makes me laugh at the Boomers saying how "young people don't know..." Many of us know the facts of this battle, and also know well enough not to trust a video that sounds like it was made 35+ years ago. Be proud of what America is. Don't twist things into propaganda.
too bad the Afghans as a whole didnt think this way earlier this year after Brandon screwed it all up. I know some of their military was told to stand down and let it fall, while some tried to fight regardless. Cheers to the ones who wouldnt take a knee.
@@christinisamathnerd Let's go Brandon! In the midst of your pontificating - I assume you are remembering your own stellar respect for Trump when he was President of the United States? If not.. shut up.
@@erichammond9308 "NOTHING" historically accurate? Are you being serious..? How can you say that? Are you saying the British fleet did NOT bombard Fort McHenry in 1814? What exactly is your source that's better than all of recorded history, including the British themselves..? Please explain...
@@veritaslibertas4976 No, okay, I admit that it got 1 thing correct - Francis Scott Key wrote the star spangled banner. As for errors 1) it was during the War of 1812, NOT the Revolutionary War, and the term colonies is absolutely not appropriate. 2) The US started the War of 1812, and England had no desire to re-take America. They knew that we made better trade partners than unwilling and most likely violently rebellious subjects. 3)George Washington never said anything like that, the quote is of Emiliano Zapata during the Mexican Civil War with the BS "Christian Americans" added on. 4) Francis Scott Key said in his memoirs that he went privately to secure the release of one friend he wasn't sent by anyone else, nor did he represent anyone else. 5)He also reported that he was aboard a truce ship 5 miles away from the fort and not aboard a Royal Navy ship during the attack 6) given #'s 1,2 and 5, the ultimatum from Vice Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane is complete hogwash. 7) Fort McHenry (not Fort Henry) is a military installation built between 1795 and 1800. It's walls and roof are 13 ft thick brick and mortar (with dirt above). 8) on that day it was manned by a garrison of 1,000 soldiers, and mounted 20 heavy guns (18, 24 and 32 pounder cannon) 9) According to Lt Colonel George Armistead the Commanding Officer of Fort McHenry there were only 28 casualties in the fort (24 wounded and 4 killed) 10)There were only 19 Royal Navy ships. 5 bomb ketches and 1 Congreve rocket ship escorted by 7 frigates 2 brigs and 1 schooner plus 3 smaller transports NOT "hundreds of ships" and certainly NOT the entire Royal Navy as the video says. 11)The flagpole at Ft McHenry today is a steel replica of the solid wooden one that stood there in 1814, it is 90 feet tall and weighs around a ton (the solid wooden one was heavier) There is no way humanly possible to manually hold it up. So, yeah, basically with all of the errors and blatantly false information in this video it's NOT accurate AT ALL.
This was THE best reaction I’ve seen of this video. I love this channel. As a USA vet from southern USA, I made sure to pay my respects when they started their own national anthem.
Funny thing about perspective. I’m a combat veteran from mid Atlantic USA, and I am not super happy about everything USA has ever done. I still have pride in the great things this country has done… must be like being a Christian. The Old Testament god, I denounce, the New Testament god has a positive message. That’s how I feel about my country that I fought for, equal parts pride and shame.
@@jeffersonott4357 You have a poor understanding of the Bible if you separate the God of the old testament and the God of the New. They are one in the same. It is the perspective that changed.
My generation was taught our nation's history. We learned about our anthem and Francis Scott Key in elementary school. There are a lot of us Americans who know our history and are proud to be Americans.
I was never taught that it was the bodies of the residents that held up the flag. The rest of it I knew from school. I think perhaps they didnt want the kids and that much death, but that is truly taking something away from them by leaving it out.
I learnt that is was really a poem with more verses then the one we know. Just how much history are we losing with each Generation and the meaning behind it. AS well as the meaning behind why our flag must never touch the ground ever.
Yes he does without the right to bear arms you have no chance to fight evil and tyranny, it will always be a buffer against evil men. That’s why the left would like to see GOD and 2A eradicated from our societies. G3 there AR15 here.
The narrator says Fort Henry. It's actually Fort McHenry. I have lived in Baltimore, Maryland my entire life. We go to Ft. McHenry at least once during our time in Primary School. Have you done a video on bagpipes? I'll post a link to my friends band, below.
Unfortunately, the narrator of the video said a lot of things wrong. The whole video is wrong. I wish they had vetted the video before showing, because the majority of it is highly inaccurate and has been debunked online.
I have so much respect for these men that are open minded to hearing and reacting to others believes. We need more good men to be open minded about others.❤❤❤
If I’m being honest even I myself as an American didn’t know the full history and meaning I’m a freshmen in college now and I’m surprised they didn’t teach my generation and younger about the history. These men are so sweet and open minded love it!
@@jacobmarshall5391 this story was clearly dramatized. No army would conduct prisoner exchange while shelling the bejezus the city where the prisoners were being held.
I just want to add that this event took place during the Battle of Baltimore during the War of 1812. It was America's second war with Great Britain (the first war was the American Revolutionary War).
Just so you know this video was a preacher who exaggerated and made up parts to meet his narrative (you can actually hear his congregation respond at certain points). The battle was real but a lot of the content is BS. The actual flag is in the Smithsonian and is in pieces because it was cut up and given away as souvenir not from bombing. The missing parts were resewn and on display. Just another propaganda video to play on the congregations emotions. The battle was real but a lot in the video is BS.
@@pats8219 hey all history isnt perfect , like Americans believing they won the war of 1812 when the British actually did lol....if the yanks actually won we would have been part of America. Britain won the war and we never annexed with the states and achieved our own country July, 1, 1867.
@@terrylynn9984 annexing Canada wasn’t our goal in the war. It was certainly planned, but not the reason for it. Britain was fighting France during this time and wanted to restrict trade to France and was blockading American trade ships and was drafting American sailors. That was our main gripe with Britain and the annexation of Canada was a threat one we couldn’t back up. I also would call it a British victory as the British had devastating losses in Louisiana and they gained nothing from the conflict in fact they cared very little for it sense they had bigger problems. At the end result the United States got two of the three things they wanted. The end of the trade blockade and the return of all Americans they was forced into service by the British
@My CZcams I just happen to believe there is a God, from what I have seen and understand there truly is. Whether one is a believer or an atheist doesnt matter, it's how we treat each other and show empathy.
@ Mary Marin ....I was a schoolgirl in the 70's, my son started school in the early 2000's and we were both taught the meaning of The Star Spangled Banner too. Honestly, it surprises me when fellow Americans say they don't know who Francis Scott Key is or the history behind our national anthem.
that's wild to me! i was in grade school in the 90s andi actually had a pretty decent education through high school (private schools and surprisingly diligent about not punishing you for not falling in line with the religion) and i don't think we were ever taught this. if we were, it was a very early history lesson that was quickly overshadowed by years more of making sure we covered the world wars and the civil war for the 8th time. which is shocking, honestly, considering we're still doing the fuckin pledge every gd day and still way too encouraged towards Patriotism
@@QuestionableLifeChoices no such thing as way too patriotic. It isnt something you are born with, it has to be taught and emulated (with all the truth considered of course, good and bad) about why the USA and its principles are so important to the rest of the world.
Sir, this is a very good video so far. I think it is important to learn about other cultures so we will recognize them as humans also and not be fearful of what we do not understand. I hope one day you will follow up with a history of Pakistani Anthem for us to learn.
I came to the US from Pakistan and I don't know the history of the Pakistani anthem what I do know is that there was an alternative anthem originally written by a Hindu poet who was commissioned by Jinnah himself to show that Pakistan, originally, was a secular country with a Muslim majority and respect for all religions. That vision faded after Zia ul Haq, an Islamist dictator supported by Ronald Reagan during the Soviet-Afghan war. And our history was kind of turned into propaganda by whitewashing stuff we did in 1971 in East Pakistan/Bangladesh and making Urdu, Pakistan Studies and Islamic Studies compulsory in our schools. Its considered so important that you can't get a US degree equivalence from Pakistani authorities until you pass those subjects i.e you can't leave Pakistan on a student visa without it. People like Ron DeSantis and Trump in the US are now trying to do the same by removing any wrongdoing from American history books. So yes, it is very important to learn from other countries so you don't repeat their mistakes.
Great video, thank you so much. You're not only teaching these gentlemen about our American culture, but you're teaching the world about their culture too. Their respectful responses and reactions are gold. Thank you again. Have subscribed and look forward to watching your channel!
I just finished watching this ‘twice’. I had to put this on my television to really see it the right way! I was crying my heart out. Thank you for allowing to see and hear this the right way, the way we, as Americans, have forgotten. May God Bless You All. Thank you! I needed this so much. I do love our Country. I’m so thankful to everyone who made this great Nation a place for others to come in search of a better life and for freedom. We’re not perfect but we forget we do have great people among us. Much love & bless to you! Welcome to America. Please stay and make this Country your second home. Welcome. 🇺🇸🙏❤
This was amazing. I'm American (actually a dual citizen) who was born and grew up in Trinidad & Tobago, and went to Catholic school (primary and high school) back in T&T...so we recited the T&T National Anthem and our school's anthem (yes....our Catholic high school had its own anthem also...lol) every morning in the school's auditorium before classes began. And when I moved to the USA as a student to attend university and eventually became a dual US Citizen (USA and T&T citizen) I learned the history of the US National Anthem as part of the US citizenship test. I already knew the US National Anthem by heart since I was a kid in T&T due to the song being sung before every sporting event on TV...and obviously, I attended many football matches (FIFA World Cup qualifiers etc) between USA and T&T, whereby BOTH teams national anthems were played before the matches. The story behind national anthems worldwide can be very touching. These guys from Pakistan were very wonderful. Thanks for uploading this.
I love the story of the American flag & The Star Spangled Banner. Many Americans believe this was written during the American Revolution. The US was a very young country & Britain wanted it's 'colonies' back. This is the main reason we respectfully stand, remove head wear (there are a few exceptions), either place the right hand over the heart (military active & former may salute) & at least mouth the words cuz it's a very difficult song to sing. Thank you for sharing the American anthem. I'm looking fwd to hearing the Pakistan national anthem. I also appreciate that Mr. Abdul noted that 'something magnetic & very strong' must be holding the flagpole upright. Excellent foreshadowing.
The Battle of Baltimore was in 1814, there was never a threat of return to British rule. Britain had recognized the US as a sovereign nation for 30 years prior to the battle. The only fact in the video is that Francis Scott Key wrote the star spangled banner. The rest of it is pure fiction.
Can't wait for part two!!! You have chosen a beautiful video to share not just with your people but with the world. This is one of my favorite of your videos!!
I am a new subber. I love that you are showing these people new things! Its really cool to see their reactions. Thank you for this. I stumbled on the video of you letting them listen to Metallica.... I love Metallica. I thought it was awesome that a few of them actually liked the music that they had never heard. Have a great day. I will be watching more of your videos.
Considering the rampant slavery, and broiling tensions that would inevitably lead to the civil war, let's not bring back that kind of America... A lot of this video isn't actual history.
*Very aware making for me, and I'm not sheltered in learning on my own at all, at 60 years old! I thought every country's citizens knew and sang their national anthems, but stopped this and googled it, and not all countries are as others, with their anthems. I did not know that, and explains one reason why Americans may appear overly 'America!' on the national front and as tourists. Wow. Thank you, sirs, for teaching me this new thing. Every time I see this video they are watching, every time I see others react from other countries, I weep. Not tear up...my tears flow freely, the entire time. I know what's coming but it still hits my heart every time.*
Excellent Reaction and discussion. Thank you all! I was taught this in school along with the pledge of allegiance while raising/lowering the flag at school. I also learned more details about patriotic victories in History class (US and World). My patriotism was re-affirmed as a military brat and then military spouse because I knew what we were fighting for and against. We’re ALL taught this yet some chose ignor-ance to dismiss or diminish what it means. We Shall Govern Ourselves, in order to form a More Perfect Union, under This Flag and Democracy. We will fight for it, die for it and protect it. We’d rather die on our feet than live on our knees, under Kings, Queens and Catholics. If this History is now being ignored in schools across the country, that needs to change and if you live your life freely in the US, the least you could do is find out what it took to make it that way. The American Spirit resides under that flag
I am a United States Marine Corps Veteran, and even though I have not worn the Uniform in many decades, I would still to this day, defend my Country and my Flag with my life, so help me God ! 🇺🇸 Semper Fidelis 🇺🇸
I do not know who that old man is, but every time I watch these videos I respect the hell out of him more and more. "That kind of life is not an option" Couldn't agree more sir.
It’s SUCH AN HONOR TO SEE THESE MEN SO INTENT ON THE STORY When some Americans don’t or won’t even think or care about Old Glory…this makes me cry watching this, especially at this time when we are fighting to keep OUR BLESSED COUNTRY UNDER GOD…Thank these Honorable Men for Me! I thank them! Do you see & feel people? Please Pray for the World ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I know this story. I'm a 40-year-old American woman. I have to say one thing though.. the man that is translating this for them, and explaining.. is PHENOMENAL at grasping what's going on and getting the point across. Very impressed and will subscribe to this channel.
I don't know if they have learned more about us, or if I've learned more about them... but I appreciate our brethren more now than I thought I could. Thank you.
This is a really wonderful account People dint realize how great the internet Is. I’ve friends on every continent on earth. I taught myself to spell in English at 21. My language. Then I started witH Spanish And I mess with a little Greek, Latin, Portuguese. The greatest thing one can do for themselves in my opinion is become exposed to other cultures but there’s a right way to do it. You’re a guest. It’s not anyone ps place to criticize other nations. I landed I. Puerto Rico with $20 and no reservations. I went deep into Puerto Rico and come home with a few hundred dollars. I went to some rough places and had a wonderful time.
Thank you very much sir for putting these two videos up. I didnt know that it was their bodies that had held up the flag and Im pretty well versed as a veteran and military historian. I was extremely patriotic after serving nearly 30 years, and this significant piece of information just took me to a new level of perseverance against those that are trying to take down our flag from within, and those that would stomp and burn it now with great disgrace. I wont let that happen again, first amendment or not. I served in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and i have much respect for those nations resistance to oppression, and these participants showed more respect for a country they are just learning about, than many of the citizens that live here. The elite enemies of America quit teaching this information to turn the citizens against itself on purpose. Those of us who were lucky enough to have been taught the truth in school and from people like you, continue to fight for the principles we were founded on and for the honor of those that held up that flag with their lives. This is why for a long time if was a crime to let the flag touch the ground or get damaged on purpose, but our enemies took that law away so people can dishonor it legally. Very very sad.
The flag wasn't propped up by bodies -- in fact, only 4 Americans died in the Battle of Fort McHenry, and the flag was never hit as far as we know. Most of the details in the story here are grossly exaggerated -- Francis Scott Key was not aboard a British ship during the battle, he was on his own American truce ship; the British didn't have nearly as many ships as mentioned here; and Key was not negotiating for the release of a "mass of humanity" -- rather he was only interested in one prisoner, Dr. William Beanes.
coming from a warrior culture, i think abdul would appreciate much of our american history. he instantly grasps things that far too many of my countrymen never learn, even after a lifetime. one thing this video highlights to me is that there are probably many subjects about pakistan the panelists may not be fully aware of, and i'd really like to learn about these subjects with them.
When we are born a certain knowledge is imposed upon us by our surrounding community. You live in only one of the possible realities because of this. The key to seeing others is empathy and introspection. Every reality being a part of the greater whole.
*Just a side note, my father, gone to Spirit over 15 years now, had a cousin who was cousins with someone who was friends with one of Francis Scott Key's best friends, thus meeting him eventually and also becoming friends. It was something like this over the generations, but she had letters from him and wrote to him, and the family still has those letters he wrote to their relative.*
This is so GREAT!! We need part two. You left us at the BEST PART! I can’t wait to see all of the reactions! 😄👏🎉❤️🇺🇸 Thank you for a great channel and video.
"The debt was demanded. The price it was paid." Defiant hope isn't limited to just one nation. It resides in the hearts of anyone who decides to stand up to a tyrannical power. That single act of defiance is enough to inspire others who have a similar desire to live without tyranny. The United States might be the example of defiance to tyranny, but it is not the only one that exists today. All over the world we see examples of people standing up to tyranny even if it might cost them their lives. It is acts like these that deserve similar respect like the respect given to this story.
Oh, say can you see, By the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed At the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, Thru the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched Were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets red glare, The bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there. O, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave O'er the land of the free And the home of the brave?
The Fort they are talking about is fort Mchenry . If you look up fort Henry outside of Francis Scott key. (Sep 14-1814 events)You will find a Fort Henry during the civil war in Tennessee. (Feb-6 1862 Battle of FT Henry) And a fort Henry that was laid siege to by French and Indian troops against the British. (August 1757 Revolutionary war event Fort William Henry)
The Star-Spangled Banner was in fact based on a poem written by Francis Scott Key after witnessing the bombardment a Fort Henry. The story in this video has added some masala and exaggerated some of it but it is in fact about that battle.
Please don’t. This video gets everything wrong except that Francis Scott Key was a lawyer, and that the words were written during the War of 1812. Watch the video from the Ft McHenry visitors center and you’ll learn much more, and it will be the truth!
As a veteran and a SERE school graduate.... The flag has very special meaning to me and makes the song way sweeter... I just wish people would sing the whole song not just the 1st part
Dude. Patriot. You wish people would learn more than the first part? Ain't nobody got time for that! JK Thirty-five years ago, I learned the whole "Star Spangled Banner" and my high school's song in two days for goofy eighties prizes. Good times. Congratulations for completing SERE training. There's a LOT of administrative documentation I was involved with connected with SERE (Army) as a glorified E4 secretary. xD
“All they can think of was” the signal. Asking about the flag was the same as asking “did we surrender?” “Did we lose?” “Are we conquered? “yet wave” means the flag still flies, it still waves, we have not surrendered, we have not lost, we are not conquered, we are still free and our homes are still ours if we remain brave.
11:20 Amazing how I most likely have little in common with this man, but share this exact sentiment. Our environments different, ideals different, but human never the less.
I absolutely love this channel! When the prisoners were praying the commentator said they had something in common ….. can you guess?

These men are showing more respect for America than most Americans. there are 7 billion people on earth imagine how great this world world be if we loved and respected one another. I love this channel, the world need more of this.
Abdul aziz rind (might have spelled it incorrectly). I love that man. What an earthly big hearted person!!! I just want to hug him!!!!! These people are so wonderful ❤️
The narrator of the video misspoke the name of the Fort. The place was actually Fort McHenry located in what is now Baltimore, Maryland. To truly understand, they should watch the video by Johnny Cash of his song "Ragged Old Flag". That song will bring tears to the eyes of any patriotic American.
"maybe you have heard it on tv b-..I have never owned a tv sir" what a boss. haha
Maybe not owning a TV is why that man always has the best observations and has had more time to gain wisdom without watching some of the silly things that we watch on TV.
@@marywood8794 yes I agree. I do watch tv, but not very much, mostly silly game show or news, so it is information or silly and I know it. But I spend so much time on CZcams I think I forget about tv sometimes
@@marywood8794 yeah it's kind of a catch 22 for me. I am like you and understand that all the gadgets we have and grew up on don't ever give us a moment to actually just reflect and think on life. The only time I actually reflect and think on life is when something rotten takes place and it knocks me out of my rut for a moment so that I have no choice but to pay attention and take a situation more seriously.. Fromom the time we wake until the time we fall asleep, we're constantly doing something that distracts us from things that are probably much more important at the end of the day. I remember as a small child and 9/11 took place. All of a sudden every American seemed to be United. The churches and other religious centers began to fill up a bit more than ever in recent memory. People were friendlier to one another for a few weeks or maybe even days alone
It took something like that so ruckus out of our drunken stupor and think of more important things then my gaming system or whatever it may be that sidetracks us from the time we're awake to the time we doze off. I was just a little kid during 9/11 but I remember how people changed for a while. And everything kind of went right back to the way it was before. Great observation by you about that oldest man in this video. He has no distractions of technology. He's more in touch with nature, I know that sounds corny cliche but it really is true. So you banged it right on the head with your observation of that guy. What's so unique to me is how they are speaking in simplistic terms like kids that are very young. They're describing things that they don't understand in the best words they can. Big sample would be the dungeon on the ship and the one man said that's like a portable jail. I subscribed to this channel because I just watched a couple other ones before and it's just bizarre in a good way how simplistic their Outlook is and how poorly informed they are on Western civilization and things we just take for granted. I think this might be the third or fourth one of binge-watched LOL. Like I said earlier, the whole technology is a catch-22 because I'm so used to it and grew up on it that I almost feel naked or helpless without having that phone in my pocket for any given reason and any moment need be. I'm going to wrap it up and I'm very sorry this was so long but I'm feeling a little passion and I'm using speech to text so I'm just spitting words and not worrying about grammar, as you can tell not worrying about run-on sentences or paragraphs Etc. Everything's just speech to text and I noticed you saw something that most haven't mentioned about that older man picking up on certain things. I watched a Mister Rogers one before this and then I watched them view we are the world song. That one was funny because the guys kept talking about certain famous singers and saying that looks like so and so my friend from the village. It was just funny but so simplistic and real that I'm going to share this joint. Anyways if you're still reading thanks and I'm sorry ended up being so long but again it was speech to text and I am a passionate guy. You wouldn't happen to be a Scorpio would you or maybe cancer? Scorpios have the tendency to notice things that other people seem to miss. I'm not all big into astrology that much but I'm a Scorpio and I've noticed it's true for me. Good observation or good eye is to say in sports
@@choice12ozborne Wow! It's a good thing that I always type my comments or they would all be that long, too! Lol I have had a few that were nearly as long, even with typing them, but that's usually in comment sections on something more political or frankly depressing than this channel. Yes, I'm a Scorpio-November 12th-and I'm not into that stuff either, so I had to double check if I even was one! I live in the U.S., was 24 and married, with a brand new baby, when 9/11 happened, so I remember what it was like before phones were always in our pockets and we weren't always staring at a screen. Sometimes I get so annoyed with the technology that I tell people that I must secretly be an 85 year old in a 45 year olds' body! My 20 year old son and I talk about it all the time. Just yesterday I was paying for my cell phone online and the company's site wasn't working right, so I had to enter all of my information several times. I started muttering...I often find myself doing that...especially at the self check out registers at the grocery store. Yes, I'm that crazy lady that talks back to the cash register at the self check out! Lol
My 20 year old (I have 2 teen sons, too), said "I know, right, if you could just call or mail it, you'd all ready be done". I think maybe he's secretly 45! Lol For all that we have gained from this technology...my quick Google search of Scorpio birth dates...we oddly seem to have lost how connected we used to be, especially in times of crisis. Yesterday, during our conversation about the cell phone thing, my son and I agreed that the benefits of all of this online stuff doesn't seem to out way the annoyance or the negatives. Ironically, he doesn't remember a time when we didn't have this stuff! Look at how divided we are as a country right now. People get online and anonymously spew their hate filled crap. We should be uniting like after 9/11 to fight the pandemic, but we've become a nation so filled with hatred for anyone that doesn't think exactly as we do, that we can't find empathy for anyone. A world without empathy is a truely dangerous place. With age, there definitely should be wisdom. The man in this video with white beard (sorry, but I don't know his name), is a great example of that. Unfortunately, lately many of our elderly leaders (presidents and members of congress) are not. Oops I'm heading back towards those politics that raise my blood pressure again...I watch channels like this one to regain my sanity from all the horrible political crap in this country. Watching comedy shows from the U.K. on CZcams helps, too. I recommend Would I Lie To You, Taskmaster, The Big Fat Quiz, and 8 out of 10 Cats (=categories) or 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown, as some good non-political ones to watch. If you don't mind some of our politics and a lot of theirs (at least they have problems, too), Mock the Week and the Russell Howard Hour are good, too. If you haven't seen the Bob Ross of PBS "happy trees" fame video on this channel, it's really great, too! I'm not sure which Mr. Roger's one that you saw on this channel. During the one with the boy in a wheel chair, we learn that one of the men reviewing the video has a disabled child and he truly appreciates how Mr. Rogers treats the boy the way that you should treat any boy, disabled or not. See...EMPATHY...we've got to get it back somehow! Mr. Rogers must be doing somersaults in his grave! See...I'm not too shabby myself at the crazy long comments! Lol
At least this one was mostly positive. I think that you still beat me though! Have a great day or night wherever you might be!
@@choice12ozborne I am a Scorpio, we make excellent police detectives, scientists and physicians because of our observational skills. I was 16 when 9/11 happened, my Ma woke me after the first plane hit and at that moment everyone (in the general public) still thought it was a tragic accident, then we saw the second one hit and of course knew. Then the Pentagon and of course the heroes who sacrificed themselves to take down the one headed for D.C.. I still remember every emotion, from shock, to pain, to rage and sorrow. At the time we lived on the Island of Palm Beach and there was an endless drone of fighter jets patrolling the coast. It was the first time in my life that I ever experienced a sense of being truly unsafe. Americans turned their pain into love for one another for the most part and it was beautiful. I wish that the country could return to that but it seems impossible now.
This was VERY eye-opening for me as an American. I am 58 yrs old & was taught the history of our national anthem. I was absolutely amazed to learn that there are people who either don't know their national anthem or have forgotten it. Most Americans over the age of 35 have The Star Spangled Banner ingrained in us at a very early age. Thank you for not just playing the Banner for these wonderful people, but also reminding them of their own.
It's pitiful that he labeled ALL American as not knowing what the anthem is about. It's total B.S. and it pissed me off. Just the youngsters now don't give a damn so they're the ones that don't have a clue.
Did you know four lines were removed from it and many have never heard them. Most don't know that the man who wrote it was a huge bigot.
@@getin3949 you can compare it to the people who try to make blanket statements about people who live in the middle east. Remember most of these people don't have access to media and their knowledge stems from stereotypes and rumors. Just like in the states or anywhere else in the world who make stereotypes based on the same thing
I was taught four stanzas but we mostly sang the first and fourth ones. I imagine that not many would sing the fourth stanza today since it mentions God and the people's trust in Him.
Not one of our greatest resources. It's one of our greatest disabilities. Patriotism is good. Nationalism is bad. This video isn't historically accurate, which makes me laugh at the Boomers saying how "young people don't know..." Many of us know the facts of this battle, and also know well enough not to trust a video that sounds like it was made 35+ years ago. Be proud of what America is. Don't twist things into propaganda.
Respect shown deserves respect given. Thank You and God Bless.
I like the star spangled banner, but I also like your country's anthem. It's a prayer of blessing.
@@choice12ozborne they are from Pakistan.

I’m loving all of their reactions.

I love that they were so willing to listen and learn♥️🇺🇸
They are definitely more educated than any american college student :D
One of the many things I enjoy is how they speak of certain foods and how they are nourishing in the winter…etc…
Sadly they learned a lie. There's nothing historically accurate in that preacher's sermon
@@erichammond9308 "NOTHING" historically accurate? Are you being serious..? How can you say that? Are you saying the British fleet did NOT bombard Fort McHenry in 1814? What exactly is your source that's better than all of recorded history, including the British themselves..? Please explain...
@@veritaslibertas4976 No, okay, I admit that it got 1 thing correct - Francis Scott Key wrote the star spangled banner. As for errors
1) it was during the War of 1812, NOT the Revolutionary War, and the term colonies is absolutely not appropriate.
2) The US started the War of 1812, and England had no desire to re-take America. They knew that we made better trade partners than unwilling and most likely violently rebellious subjects.
3)George Washington never said anything like that, the quote is of Emiliano Zapata during the Mexican Civil War with the BS "Christian Americans" added on.
4) Francis Scott Key said in his memoirs that he went privately to secure the release of one friend he wasn't sent by anyone else, nor did he represent anyone else.
5)He also reported that he was aboard a truce ship 5 miles away from the fort and not aboard a Royal Navy ship during the attack
6) given #'s 1,2 and 5, the ultimatum from Vice Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane is complete hogwash.
7) Fort McHenry (not Fort Henry) is a military installation built between 1795 and 1800. It's walls and roof are 13 ft thick brick and mortar (with dirt above).
8) on that day it was manned by a garrison of 1,000 soldiers, and mounted 20 heavy guns (18, 24 and 32 pounder cannon)
9) According to Lt Colonel George Armistead the Commanding Officer of Fort McHenry there were only 28 casualties in the fort (24 wounded and 4 killed)
10)There were only 19 Royal Navy ships. 5 bomb ketches and 1 Congreve rocket ship escorted by 7 frigates 2 brigs and 1 schooner plus 3 smaller transports NOT "hundreds of ships" and certainly NOT the entire Royal Navy as the video says.
11)The flagpole at Ft McHenry today is a steel replica of the solid wooden one that stood there in 1814, it is 90 feet tall and weighs around a ton (the solid wooden one was heavier)
There is no way humanly possible to manually hold it up.
So, yeah, basically with all of the errors and blatantly false information in this video it's NOT accurate AT ALL.
This was THE best reaction I’ve seen of this video. I love this channel.
As a USA vet from southern USA, I made sure to pay my respects when they started their own national anthem.
Funny thing about perspective. I’m a combat veteran from mid Atlantic USA, and I am not super happy about everything USA has ever done. I still have pride in the great things this country has done… must be like being a Christian. The Old Testament god, I denounce, the New Testament god has a positive message. That’s how I feel about my country that I fought for, equal parts pride and shame.
@@jeffersonott4357 You have a poor understanding of the Bible if you separate the God of the old testament and the God of the New. They are one in the same. It is the perspective that changed.
@@veritaslibertas4976 well, I don’t actually believe in either one, it was just an example.
Thank you! 🙏
My generation was taught our nation's history. We learned about our anthem and Francis Scott Key in elementary school.
There are a lot of us Americans who know our history and are proud to be Americans.
I was never taught that it was the bodies of the residents that held up the flag. The rest of it I knew from school. I think perhaps they didnt want the kids and that much death, but that is truly taking something away from them by leaving it out.
Amen. God bless you and God bless the USA.
Same here
@@douglassinclaire9968 You were never taught that part because it isn't true.
I learnt that is was really a poem with more verses then the one we know. Just how much history are we losing with each Generation and the meaning behind it. AS well as the meaning behind why our flag must never touch the ground ever.
No matter who you are, what your country is, or your opinion of America, you must admit how amazing this was.

The narrator says Fort Henry. It's actually Fort McHenry.
I have lived in Baltimore, Maryland my entire life. We go to Ft. McHenry at least once during our time in Primary School.
Have you done a video on bagpipes? I'll post a link to my friends band, below.
czcams.com/video/dnSGNwrx9wc/video.html
It was also the War of 1812 and not the Independence War, so him saying that we were still "colonies" is inaccurate.
Unfortunately, the narrator of the video said a lot of things wrong. The whole video is wrong. I wish they had vetted the video before showing, because the majority of it is highly inaccurate and has been debunked online.
I have so much respect for these men that are open minded to hearing and reacting to others believes. We need more good men to be open minded about others.❤❤❤
If I’m being honest even I myself as an American didn’t know the full history and meaning I’m a freshmen in college now and I’m surprised they didn’t teach my generation and younger about the history. These men are so sweet and open minded love it!
Much of this is either exaggerated or not entirely factual. Look yo more reputable sources (from a professor)
I recommend a visit to Fort McHenry, you'll learn that the overwhelming majority of this story is complete BS.

The War Of 1812 is vastly underrated. At least this video put one event that occurred in that war.
Love this, as a Canadian I was unaware of this history behind the beautiful American anthem, cant wait for part 2....
Just so you know this video was a preacher who exaggerated and made up parts to meet his narrative (you can actually hear his congregation respond at certain points). The battle was real but a lot of the content is BS. The actual flag is in the Smithsonian and is in pieces because it was cut up and given away as souvenir not from bombing. The missing parts were resewn and on display. Just another propaganda video to play on the congregations emotions. The battle was real but a lot in the video is BS.
@@pats8219 hey all history isnt perfect , like Americans believing they won the war of 1812 when the British actually did lol....if the yanks actually won we would have been part of America.
Britain won the war and we never annexed with the states and achieved our own country July, 1, 1867.
@@terrylynn9984 annexing Canada wasn’t our goal in the war. It was certainly planned, but not the reason for it. Britain was fighting France during this time and wanted to restrict trade to France and was blockading American trade ships and was drafting American sailors. That was our main gripe with Britain and the annexation of Canada was a threat one we couldn’t back up. I also would call it a British victory as the British had devastating losses in Louisiana and they gained nothing from the conflict in fact they cared very little for it sense they had bigger problems. At the end result the United States got two of the three things they wanted. The end of the trade blockade and the return of all Americans they was forced into service by the British
@My CZcams I just happen to believe there is a God, from what I have seen and understand there truly is. Whether one is a believer or an atheist doesnt matter, it's how we treat each other and show empathy.
You were unaware of it because it isn’t true. This video is full of falsehoods.
Kids born up to the 70's were taught about what this song means. At least where I'm from Pennsylvania. Great video!!😊🎉💝
@ Mary Marin ....I was a schoolgirl in the 70's, my son started school in the early 2000's and we were both taught the meaning of The Star Spangled Banner too. Honestly, it surprises me when fellow Americans say they don't know who Francis Scott Key is or the history behind our national anthem.
that's wild to me! i was in grade school in the 90s andi actually had a pretty decent education through high school (private schools and surprisingly diligent about not punishing you for not falling in line with the religion) and i don't think we were ever taught this. if we were, it was a very early history lesson that was quickly overshadowed by years more of making sure we covered the world wars and the civil war for the 8th time. which is shocking, honestly, considering we're still doing the fuckin pledge every gd day and still way too encouraged towards Patriotism
@@QuestionableLifeChoices no such thing as way too patriotic. It isnt something you are born with, it has to be taught and emulated (with all the truth considered of course, good and bad) about why the USA and its principles are so important to the rest of the world.
Same in Oklahoma. I doubt most are being taught it today. 🇺🇸♥️
@@garitica3365 sadly because they are not being taught it today. 🥲
Sir, this is a very good video so far. I think it is important to learn about other cultures so we will recognize them as humans also and not be fearful of what we do not understand. I hope one day you will follow up with a history of Pakistani Anthem for us to learn.
I came to the US from Pakistan and I don't know the history of the Pakistani anthem what I do know is that there was an alternative anthem originally written by a Hindu poet who was commissioned by Jinnah himself to show that Pakistan, originally, was a secular country with a Muslim majority and respect for all religions. That vision faded after Zia ul Haq, an Islamist dictator supported by Ronald Reagan during the Soviet-Afghan war. And our history was kind of turned into propaganda by whitewashing stuff we did in 1971 in East Pakistan/Bangladesh and making Urdu, Pakistan Studies and Islamic Studies compulsory in our schools. Its considered so important that you can't get a US degree equivalence from Pakistani authorities until you pass those subjects i.e you can't leave Pakistan on a student visa without it.
People like Ron DeSantis and Trump in the US are now trying to do the same by removing any wrongdoing from American history books. So yes, it is very important to learn from other countries so you don't repeat their mistakes.
Such nice respect from the lovely people.
Great video, thank you so much. You're not only teaching these gentlemen about our American culture, but you're teaching the world about their culture too. Their respectful responses and reactions are gold. Thank you again. Have subscribed and look forward to watching your channel!
I just finished watching this ‘twice’. I had to put this on my television to really see it the right way! I was crying my heart out.

I’m so thankful to everyone who made this great Nation a place for others to come in search of a better life and for freedom. We’re not perfect but we forget we do have great people among us. Much love & bless to you! Welcome to America. Please stay and make this Country your second home. Welcome. 🇺🇸🙏❤
This was amazing. I'm American (actually a dual citizen) who was born and grew up in Trinidad & Tobago, and went to Catholic school (primary and high school) back in T&T...so we recited the T&T National Anthem and our school's anthem (yes....our Catholic high school had its own anthem also...lol) every morning in the school's auditorium before classes began. And when I moved to the USA as a student to attend university and eventually became a dual US Citizen (USA and T&T citizen) I learned the history of the US National Anthem as part of the US citizenship test. I already knew the US National Anthem by heart since I was a kid in T&T due to the song being sung before every sporting event on TV...and obviously, I attended many football matches (FIFA World Cup qualifiers etc) between USA and T&T, whereby BOTH teams national anthems were played before the matches. The story behind national anthems worldwide can be very touching. These guys from Pakistan were very wonderful. Thanks for uploading this.
I love the story of the American flag & The Star Spangled Banner. Many Americans believe this was written during the American Revolution.
The US was a very young country & Britain wanted it's 'colonies' back.
This is the main reason we respectfully stand, remove head wear (there are a few exceptions), either place the right hand over the heart (military active & former may salute) & at least mouth the words cuz it's a very difficult song to sing.
Thank you for sharing the American anthem. I'm looking fwd to hearing the Pakistan national anthem.
I also appreciate that Mr. Abdul noted that 'something magnetic & very strong' must be holding the flagpole upright. Excellent foreshadowing.
The Battle of Baltimore was in 1814, there was never a threat of return to British rule. Britain had recognized the US as a sovereign nation for 30 years prior to the battle. The only fact in the video is that Francis Scott Key wrote the star spangled banner. The rest of it is pure fiction.
Can't wait for part two!!! You have chosen a beautiful video to share not just with your people but with the world. This is one of my favorite of your videos!!
Amazing they were so open to this? Even more amazing that they showed empathy for it.

*Very aware making for me, and I'm not sheltered in learning on my own at all, at 60 years old!

Every time I see this video they are watching, every time I see others react from other countries, I weep. Not tear up...my tears flow freely, the entire time. I know what's coming but it still hits my heart every time.*
Thank you for sharing your anthem! I would like to see the guys react to the history of their own.
Excellent Reaction and discussion. Thank you all!
I was taught this in school along with the pledge of allegiance while raising/lowering the flag at school.
I also learned more details about patriotic victories in History class (US and World).
My patriotism was re-affirmed as a military brat and then military spouse because I knew what we were fighting for and against.
We’re ALL taught this yet some chose ignor-ance to dismiss or diminish what it means.
We Shall Govern Ourselves, in order to form a More Perfect Union, under This Flag and Democracy.
We will fight for it, die for it and protect it.
We’d rather die on our feet than live on our knees, under Kings, Queens and Catholics.
If this History is now being ignored in schools across the country, that needs to change and if you live your life freely in the US, the least you could do is find out what it took to make it that way.
The American Spirit resides under that flag
I am a United States Marine Corps Veteran, and even though I have not worn the Uniform in many decades, I would still to this day, defend my Country and my Flag with my life, so help me God ! 🇺🇸 Semper Fidelis 🇺🇸
Your American patriot ancestors would be proud.
I do not know who that old man is, but every time I watch these videos I respect the hell out of him more and more.
"That kind of life is not an option"

It’s SUCH AN HONOR TO SEE THESE MEN SO INTENT ON THE STORY When some Americans don’t or won’t even think or care about Old Glory…this makes me cry watching this, especially at this time when we are fighting to keep OUR BLESSED COUNTRY UNDER GOD…Thank these Honorable Men for Me! I thank them! Do you see & feel people? Please Pray for the World ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I would honestly like to see them relearn their own national anthem as well, seeing that they don't remember it by heart.
It’s probably part 2
We know it some of us just don't sing it
I know this story. I'm a 40-year-old American woman. I have to say one thing though.. the man that is translating this for them, and explaining.. is PHENOMENAL at grasping what's going on and getting the point across. Very impressed and will subscribe to this channel.

This is a really wonderful account
People dint realize how great the internet Is. I’ve friends on every continent on earth. I taught myself to spell in English at 21. My language. Then I started witH Spanish And I mess with a little Greek, Latin, Portuguese.

I landed I. Puerto Rico with $20 and no reservations. I went deep into Puerto Rico and come home with a few hundred dollars. I went to some rough places and had a wonderful time.
Happy Saturday, everyone! :)
Thank you very much sir for putting these two videos up. I didnt know that it was their bodies that had held up the flag and Im pretty well versed as a veteran and military historian. I was extremely patriotic after serving nearly 30 years, and this significant piece of information just took me to a new level of perseverance against those that are trying to take down our flag from within, and those that would stomp and burn it now with great disgrace. I wont let that happen again, first amendment or not. I served in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and i have much respect for those nations resistance to oppression, and these participants showed more respect for a country they are just learning about, than many of the citizens that live here. The elite enemies of America quit teaching this information to turn the citizens against itself on purpose. Those of us who were lucky enough to have been taught the truth in school and from people like you, continue to fight for the principles we were founded on and for the honor of those that held up that flag with their lives. This is why for a long time if was a crime to let the flag touch the ground or get damaged on purpose, but our enemies took that law away so people can dishonor it legally. Very very sad.
The flag wasn't propped up by bodies -- in fact, only 4 Americans died in the Battle of Fort McHenry, and the flag was never hit as far as we know. Most of the details in the story here are grossly exaggerated -- Francis Scott Key was not aboard a British ship during the battle, he was on his own American truce ship; the British didn't have nearly as many ships as mentioned here; and Key was not negotiating for the release of a "mass of humanity" -- rather he was only interested in one prisoner, Dr. William Beanes.
coming from a warrior culture, i think abdul would appreciate much of our american history. he instantly grasps things that far too many of my countrymen never learn, even after a lifetime.
one thing this video highlights to me is that there are probably many subjects about pakistan the panelists may not be fully aware of, and i'd really like to learn about these subjects with them.
This is so awesome 🤩!!! Thank You 🙏!! Can’t wait for part 2!!!
I swear I have more in common with these tribals than I have with my whole generation of Americans. These people get it.
When we are born a certain knowledge is imposed upon us by our surrounding community. You live in only one of the possible realities because of this. The key to seeing others is empathy and introspection. Every reality being a part of the greater whole.
Great piece of forgotten history. I wish more Americans learned about what happened on that day. Interested to see part 2 of this reaction.
*Just a side note, my father, gone to Spirit over 15 years now, had a cousin who was cousins with someone who was friends with one of Francis Scott Key's best friends, thus meeting him eventually and also becoming friends. It was something like this over the generations, but she had letters from him and wrote to him, and the family still has those letters he wrote to their relative.*
Looking forward to part 2! ☺️
Great vid, I'm excited to watching part 2
I really enjoy watching these videos and your reactions. Thank you for participating 💗
This is so GREAT!! We need part two. You left us at the BEST PART! I can’t wait to see all of the reactions! 😄👏🎉❤️🇺🇸 Thank you for a great channel and video.
"The debt was demanded. The price it was paid."
Defiant hope isn't limited to just one nation. It resides in the hearts of anyone who decides to stand up to a tyrannical power. That single act of defiance is enough to inspire others who have a similar desire to live without tyranny. The United States might be the example of defiance to tyranny, but it is not the only one that exists today. All over the world we see examples of people standing up to tyranny even if it might cost them their lives. It is acts like these that deserve similar respect like the respect given to this story.
I can't wait for Part 2!
I am excited to see part two!! 👏👏👏😃
Oh, say can you see,
By the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
Thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets red glare,
The bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there.
O, say, does that
Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave?
The Fort they are talking about is fort Mchenry . If you look up fort Henry outside of Francis Scott key. (Sep 14-1814 events)You will find a Fort Henry during the civil war in Tennessee.
(Feb-6 1862 Battle of FT Henry)
And a fort Henry that was laid siege to by French and Indian troops against the British.
(August 1757 Revolutionary war event
Fort William Henry)
Can't wait for part 2!
Love the video keep em up!!!
I liked this video a lot! It was very insightful and I learned.
His videos keep getting better and better to me. I’m addicted
I love hearing their anthem. Thank you for sharing that with us.
The Star-Spangled Banner was in fact based on a poem written by Francis Scott Key after witnessing the bombardment a Fort Henry. The story in this video has added some masala and exaggerated some of it but it is in fact about that battle.
Fort McHenry
You lost some points when you got the Fort's name wrong.
This is why we stand for our anthem no matter where we are. And we dont allow the flag to hit the ground .
Great video. I'm about to go look for part 2
Please don’t. This video gets everything wrong except that Francis Scott Key was a lawyer, and that the words were written during the War of 1812. Watch the video from the Ft McHenry visitors center and you’ll learn much more, and it will be the truth!
As a veteran and a SERE school graduate.... The flag has very special meaning to me and makes the song way sweeter... I just wish people would sing the whole song not just the 1st part
Dude. Patriot. You wish people would learn more than the first part? Ain't nobody got time for that! JK
Thirty-five years ago, I learned the whole "Star Spangled Banner" and my high school's song in two days for goofy eighties prizes. Good times. Congratulations for completing SERE training. There's a LOT of administrative documentation I was involved with connected with SERE (Army) as a glorified E4 secretary. xD
Bonus points for the soundtrack - the opening music of Patton.
“All they can think of was” the signal. Asking about the flag was the same as asking “did we surrender?” “Did we lose?” “Are we conquered?
“yet wave” means the flag still flies, it still waves, we have not surrendered, we have not lost, we are not conquered, we are still free and our homes are still ours if we remain brave.
11:20 Amazing how I most likely have little in common with this man, but share this exact sentiment. Our environments different, ideals different, but human never the less.
This is such a cool and interesting channel!
You translated beautifully 🥰🇺🇸
So amazed these guys instantly knew barganing for battle stuff! ❤❤❤
I absolutely love this channel! When the prisoners were praying the commentator said they had something in common ….. can you guess? (he ment prayers) , and the villager said “RIFLES” lol, I almost spit out my water 💦 I was laughing so much. They are so precious! God bless their hearts ❤️ ❤ God bless them and their families 😊
God bless America
Land that I love
Stand beside her
And guide her
Through the night with a light from above
From the mountains
To the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America
My home, sweet home
God bless America

This one sold me
Many greetings from over here!
These people are so amazing! I’d love to talk to one them!
These men are showing more respect for America than most Americans. there are 7 billion people on earth imagine how great this world world be if we loved and respected one another. I love this channel, the world need more of this.
Abdul aziz rind (might have spelled it incorrectly). I love that man. What an earthly big hearted person!!! I just want to hug him!!!!! These people are so wonderful ❤️
Do you think these amazing people would like to react to some of other's countries culture? For instance malambo from Argentina, Irish dance, etc?
This is enlightening. I love the commentary about your culture compared to ours. Will be watching more!
😆😆😆 12:45 "These men have one thing that you have"
"A rifle?" 😂😂😂
We have so much to learn from this humble people
I love you guys! Especially the das
This is beautiful
Every time we sing the Star Spangled Banner we are giving a history lesson.
When will we see part 2?
As an American I want to share this, and these beautiful people.
12:46 His first response was a rifle? He might be more American than he realizes 🤣
I'd have been holding the flag, running back and forth shouting, I'm over here! I'm over here! Pppppt!!! 😂😂😂😂
I’ve never heard this story. Amazing.
The narrator of the video misspoke the name of the Fort. The place was actually Fort McHenry located in what is now Baltimore, Maryland. To truly understand, they should watch the video by Johnny Cash of his song "Ragged Old Flag". That song will bring tears to the eyes of any patriotic American.
"That man had what you have"
"A rifle?"
"Yes"
Thank you
