That was gorgeous. I want to feel that way about my country again in the same way that song made me feel. The last time I felt like that was sitting in my living room watching President Obama's first inauguration with tears streaming down my face. I had lost a lot of patriotism during the Dubya years (let's never forget that he was a complete disaster also), but I thought we were finally on the right track after that debacle. Then we ended up with this.
Thanks for posting that.

This is my America. Donald Trump & his supporters will never understand it.

I don't normally get emotional over public patriotic displays, but this cracked my shell.

These two should sing at the Dem convention, or better yet, Biden's inauguration

Great idea. They so beautifully captured and represent the goodness and community we can have.

I'll take it. The YouTube version is too high production. Even if a fake story, it's a good fake
