we need more people like her to sing our national athem.not with the likes of steve tyler or other artists[so called] singing our national athem. that was great and i brings tears to my eyes every time i hear it.[guess because i love my country so much]

Maybe you hit on something. Hearing a great performance like hers kinda reminds you how awesome this country is.

Some of the versions I've heard really make me want to scream, but I'll also agree with a previous poster and say that I love Jimi's guitar version as well.
Greatness reminds you of greatness !
