    Very very nice. Looked sharp too! I'm 62 yo and grew up through the 60s. In the 4th, 5th and 6th grades we were taught ALL the American classic folk songs and all five military branch songs (three verses each). Today I'm a retired and disabled US Army combat vet of 23 years. I still stand (with help) and sing the words for each branch song and America the Beautiful. I still stand and salute the National Anthem and Army Song. Some of don't or can't stand as we once would, but our hearts and minds do, ...especially on Memorial Day. Thanks for the tribute, the hard work and remembering.

      Oh man, they didn't instantly stop and salute. People need to relax. Personally I think most indoor music sounds like crap because of the acoustics, and frankly the guys beating the bejesus out of their drums drowns everyone else out. One thing I was taught in marching band was percussion should be loud enough to hear, but not loud enough to be all you hear.
      Leave people to celebrate (or not) the way they want. There's plenty of military worship to go around as is.

    I lived in Colorado nine years. Denver was a great town. I left in Fall 1973 to return for a visit in 1978 and find the city was going downhill like a rocket pointed at hell, and it has gotten worse every year. More than half of the people at that Mall show no respect at all for our troops. Notice, by the way, the song does does not say, "God Bless the United States." It says, "God Bless America."

      A total of 2% have served since the nation was formed including the Revolutionary War and most were NOT volunteers thats a more recent thing. The majority were draftees in WWI WWII, Korea and Viet Nam. Americans love to use the world "hero" now for anyone in uniform however for those of us who have served in combat that is a title reserved for the very few, those that raise above the rest of us.
