When the story about the American National Anthem brings a Russian guy to tears, that is awesome
I wish our own people would feel the same. Instead, many will burn this beautiful bannner and flag and stomp on it like so much dirt. They are stepping on their own people which the flag represents. I love this flag and it flys at my house every day of the year. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
@@oramairiza2004 that’s the media.the vast majority still love our country.
The US anthem and the USSR anthem are the top two anthems
@@oramairiza2004 I do.
@@oramairiza2004 Our flag is at our highest point on our homestead. Flying day and night. Lit up beautifully at night. 🙏❤️
Thank you for taking the time to watch this video about our national anthem. Based on your reaction, you now know one of the reasons why our flag and national anthem are so important to many Americans. Best wishes from your American friends!
It takes a real man to to cry, without emotion we cannot love. In my 70's I have seen my fare share of wars. But what I have seen today, watching a young Russian lad shed a tear for my country just enforces my belief that this grande ole flag and all it stands for can reach far beyond it's borders. Prayers and Love to you young man.
Amen.
❤🧡💛 to Aleks !
Amen
It’s to bad America and Russia are such rivals in the world. Because in truth we share so many of the same values and strengths. How much better would this world be if the two biggest boys on the block didn’t fight with each other, but instead worked to make the block better?
@@JamesM99 Yet don't give up!
There will be a #miracle, just #KeepTheFaith & #KeepFighting. 🙏😊 If you need help doing that, listen to (or read) this book: "Seven Miracles That Saved America" www.audible.com/pd/B00D2XZ7CS ...It reminded me God works in His timeline, and wants us to do as much as we can first.
I've got no prob with Russia.
China? That's a different story
aint that the truth
Imo America and Russia haven't been true enemies since the Cold War. Democracy vs Communism and all that jazz, however after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the iron curtain I believe things shifted culturally in both nations. Governments don't define the nation the people do. I think the biggest threat to not just the states, but the world is China.
So true. I second that
I have cried at my National Anthem my entire life! I get goosebumps and chills everytime I hear it. I am a 62 year old U.S. Citizen. I will die fighting for my flag and Nation if I must.
I'm with you! Our national anthem remains powerful and brings me to tears. Regardless of the division within our country, I am still proud to be an American. 🇺🇸❤
And I will stand beside you.
It's because it was ordained of God 🙏🇺🇲 as a beacon of hope and liberty 🗽 to all the world!
It is not the wind that causes our flag to wave, but the last breath of every Patriot that laid down his life for it. God bless America and keep her free. 🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸
So you can know the words to the other stanzas is this most racist song and be proud. Then the world now knows exactly what kind of loveless and disrespectful person you TRULY are. May God bless you anyway
I love seeing other countries reacting to our National Anthem. I find it awesome that even they cry over the story behind the song
As an American I cry at the story of Dunkirk, at Churchill's speeches, and even at the siege of Vienna (when the Winged Hussars arrive to relieve them). What's powerful is the human determination, the power with which they act on their ideals, and the results against all odds borne from their sacrifice. This feeling transcends nations, but those who share heritage or culture will feel more connected to it. The US flag is a symbol that goes beyond our nation: It's a symbol of liberty - used in movements resisting Authoritarianism around the globe (Namely Hong Kong, Taiwan and the like). To the Commonwealth the Union Jack holds special meaning as well, despite it being another nation's flag.
Right!!!
@@DSiren the cause of America is the cause of all mankind.
I also love seeing foreign people taking the oath, and the national anthem to be an American citizen, it makes me cry, because they cry! I think they are more American than some here.
So honored as an American that those across the seas feel our spirit.
Aleks - it is now December 13, 2022. You are finally on American soil and you're on your way to becoming a full fledged American citizen. I want to remind you that this song is now your song too. This flag is your flag. This story is now a part of your story. ❤️🇺🇸
I love your comment! A very true statement.
I wish more Americans realized that the flag and freedoms it represents SHOULD be experienced by all humans on American soil.
♥️🇺🇸
Now you know what every American feels when we sing our anthem.We welcome you with open arms.
Amen🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. Now you know why we Veterans get so mad when our flag is dropped to the ground, stepped on and burned.
I'm not a veteran but I feel the same exact way JL. There's very little that enrages me but disrespecting old glory is on that short list. Thank you for your service.
I wish I could like this comment twice!!
Amen these modern day children don't even know why we get so furious over desecration of the flag. Letting the flag hit the ground means we should have surrendered.
@@sidwha4665 I’m 18 and I’ve grown up loving the flag and my country and even in a few months will be leaving for basic training to serve my country that I love so much
@@kadenmclellan8393 Thank you, Kaden. You were raised right and with honor. Good luck and may God protect you always, Son.
The Star-Spangled Banner flag is currently cared for by the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.
That Sight deserves an Honor Guard.
What state is that in I'd love to go see this
@@frankierzucekjr It's in the Capital Washington D. C. Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History
I'm touched deeply that you comprehend what our flag means to us. God bless. From a Patriot and veteran.
@@ironear7748 It was my honor then and it will be my honor again. God bless.
That's why we get so angry about these athletes and others that disrespect it.
It is ironic that a young Russian man can appreciate what most American Citizens don't, As a Very Patriotic American Citizen and Proud Veteran My spirit is roused to the core each time I hear the National Anthem, I am the Son of a long line of Military Patriots who have given Life and Limb in defense of this Nation, in gratitude for the Freedom This Nation allows us to enjoy! If I were to become the Last one standing In this Land, you can rest assured that the Flag of this Nation Would still be standing! God Bless America!
I don't think that's true, most Americans appreciate it
I appreciate the flag I just hate how the government sullies its reputation tho
This video is pure propaganda. It’s been debunked.
@@jeffwilliams2828 Instead of just stating it also provide proof.
@@razier5299 Instead of just drinking in propaganda because of ideology and production value, why dont you do you some reading... like the description of the video where the creator says it’s not an accurate story.
70% of that video is straight made up 💩 Enjoy your reading.
People that watch this video will understand why we love our country and why we are so patriotic.
sorry to tell you but your cheated leader and the most of the left gov are spitting on your flag and your freedom and everything those amazing heroe die for and this is so fucking sad:( freedom is dying all around the world and i hope we still have hero like that in each of us , because we will need it soon
@@dissya1 yeah
@@dissya1 i agree and they WILL be held accountable for their crimes against our nation...don’t let Biden and the corrupt Left fool you...the US is and will always be the protector of freedom globally...2022 will be their down fall forever...Trump told the world what will happen if Biden and the Left get control...he had to show us...2022 the Right will take power back and restore order
@@dissya1 sadly you’re correct, I know Trump had his flaws but he truly was a great American president in my eyes. Now we are becoming a joke because our leader can’t even remember where he’s at or even complete a sentence.
@@gainz4dayz576 the sad part is when they cannot push him anymore has a pupet communist harris will take is place and that why they have to push all the pack the court type bullshit fast so they can remove him after and blame him for everything while they use ultimate power to make sure they never lose full control ever again ...
As a very proud patriotic American,thank you for your heartfelt reaction to our song and it’s story! It makes me cry every time also! Much love from Tennessee!
Yes I agree
And much love to you as well my fellow Tennessean! East, west, or middle?
As someone in college getting my BA in History, I was never taught the historical importance of the star spangled banner, and now, all the children i teach will know this story behind this beautiful, meaningful song! God Bless America
We learned about Francis Scott key in like 5th grade or something I think. The story of fort McHenry and the anthem. I feel like the significance of that story wasn’t expressed properly to us though. It was only later in life as I studied on my own that I really got it. …and this sermon tells the story about as good as it can be told. Men laying down their lives so that others may be free. Refused to let that flag hit the ground. Refused to surrender no matter what. If that doesn’t inspire you, I don’t know what will.
Yes please teach all your future students this it’s our history from the past we own it to the people of the past never forget!
@@larrycambron2137 teaching FALSE history is wrong. There were only 28 casualties in Fort McHenry (24 wounded and 4 killed). Fort McHenry was most definitely a military installation with a garrison of 1,000 men and mounting 20 heavy guns (18, 24 and 32 pounder cannon) plus smaller field artillery pieces for close defense. There were only 19 Royal Navy ships present (5 bomb ketches 1 Congreve rocket ship escorted by 7 Frigates, 3 schooners plus 3 smaller transports) not "hundreds of ships".
If you're working on your BA in history you should do a little research on the battle of Baltimore, Fort McHenry was but a part of the battle. A cursory study will show You that 99% of this story is complete fabrication.
There are a lot of historical inaccuracies in this video to the point that it approaches propaganda.
All people desire freedom, this is why we cry regardless of country. Much love to Russia from Montana, USA
And from Utah, USA. 😊
And from Colorado, USA.
And from Minnesota, USA
And from Idaho, USA
And Vegas, USA! 🤘🏼
Thank you, brother. Regardless of what the media says, we Americans love Russians, too. Your respect is a very kind gift to us, thank you again. May God bless you, brother. - Kevin Venture
I echo @ClearAdventure's words. 👍
Yes, love the people not the government
Ditto boys
Your right...every time I have turned on the news, someone is on there saying. "Americans hate Russians". We love the Russian people, we just don't want their government to hack our elections, intentionally and successfully fooling enough Americans into supporting Donald Trump...The only treasonous president in American history. Putin...not the Russian people plotted against us to divide this country by helping a mentally ill criminal, do his dirty work.
@@smfmnoneya9134 i i agree with what you were saying untill you got to the election part, that part is a flat out lie
I stand and put my hand over my heart and SING the National Anthem. I know 4 verses of it that was taught in school. I am a patriot and proud of it! 🇺🇸❤
I cry like a little boy every time I hear it. God I love the Russian people. They're no different than us Americans. Never met one I haven't liked.
Some of us Americans were Russians at one point. My grandparents came over last century from Russia. I am 2nd generation American.
Ikr! Super cool people!!!
The entire world is watching Americans fight with each other in an unprecedented way. It's horrible for all of us right now.
Thanks for your heartfelt reaction. It was a good reminder of how fortunate and proud we are to live here
Your English is very good! Sending love from Texas
Yes, and what is happening is straight out of the "COMMUNIST MANIFESTO" Their biggest weapon = Media. Very few know what OBAMA meant when he said " Fundamental Transformation" ( it's been unfolding 12 years) He also repealed Anti-Propaganda laws & Fairness in Broadcasting Doctrines. The media & Hollywood are dividing & morally subverting us. We are under direct, repetitive attack ,our Govt has ALREADY been taken over. They ARE AIMING FOR US NOW.
@@CjJohns1776 I honestly feel like we are heading towards a 2nd civil war sooner or later.
@@michaelricker6060 - As long as even one American Patriot remains, America will not fall. The West will not fall.
Some of us remember the time before the Division enacted over this past few decades, and we know what our freedom is, what it feels like. We will not easily let that go.
Have faith, and pray it is God's will that the good prevails here. The fight is real no matter what the media tells you. It is real, and people are fighting to win on both sides. I believe we have been in a sort of cold civil war for a few years and I am hoping it does not turn hot.
If you are a Patriot, do not give up.
Let us pray for the resolution of all your issues and for an administration that will TRULY SERVE the interests of the ordinary American than the ones running Capitol Hill today.
The strength of a nation is in its citizenry. And with the guidance of an Almighty God that keeps them from going astray.
@@michaelricker6060 Why the government wants so badly to take away our guns. Pray. Pray and fight.
It's so sad that a Russian has more respect and admiration for the American flag and its history than some Americans. Great reaction bud.
You will have some ignorant people in every country, it happens.
It’s really heartwarming to see a man from Russia cry as he learns the story behind our national anthem. It’s extremely sad that a lot of people here have no respect for the flag. If they knew anything about the flag and actually respected it, they would know that the flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding or drapery. They also wouldn’t use it to beat up cops, storm the Capitol and fly it next to the confederate flag.
Flag hating Americans should be kicked out of the country
@@marcom6089 Or burn it!!!
“Live there a man whose soul is so dead that never to himself has said ‘this is my home, my native land’”.
That is so cool a young Russian man can appreciate the sacrifice Americans made for the flag God bless you young man ❤️🇺🇸 America loves you!
I am an Amerrican and I am so proud to have watched this with you young. man. Thank you and God bless you
I couldn't agree more! I'm a born and bred American and I will fight for my country with my fellow Patriots and with God by my side.
All these great comments make me wonder how we all seem to be in the minority right now. Why is it cool to constantly complain about everything wrong with america?,
@@rebelamanda I'm from the UK and my life goal is to move to your country. It really upsets me to see that in a country where you have so much more freedom and opportunity than over here, there are still people who hate it and find every way possible to be negative...
@@rebelamanda i know, when it comes to insulting the u.s , when we try to negotiate or point out the bad points, they call them ignorant, but when it comes to insulting or joking others, they get defensive
My friend, now you understand why we stand when The Star Spangled Banner is sung. My ancestors were in America before, during and after the Revolution. We paid the price for this nation to exist, and we welcome all who love liberty and who cherish this flag.
I really love this reaction, you've given us respect and honor. It also brought a smile to my face when you took time to translate and fully understand what was being said.
I'm a southern man from Atlanta Georgia, and I'm actually learning Russian myself.
Любовь и уважение из Америки!
Thank you for supporting!!! I believe in you, You can do it !!!
Всего Вам Наилучшего!!!
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction to our national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner. Watching you react and the tears it brought you to, is how I as an American feel when I hear it being sung. It is with pride that I stand and place my right hand over my heart. Frances Scott Key is buried in Mt. Olive Cemetry in the city of Frederick, Maryland, about 40 miles from Baltimore Maryland. I have visited his grave and read his words of what he witnessed and become our national anthem.
Great reaction! This is why so many people around the world identify with America. America isn't one race, one religion. It's an idea, it's the "greatest experiment" in human history. *Anyone* can be an American. Thanks for the video. You just earned yourself a new subscriber. Keep it up my friend!
Thank you for supporting!!!)))
Me too, just subscribed
Well said.
@@MyEnglishWorld8 you should do more research. This is no more then propaganda. The real story is amazing on it's own. I ask you to not spread these gross lies and remove this video. If you would like evidence please reach out.
@RetroGamerV32 I dont know if Ben ever said that. What I do know is that this telling of the story is propaganda.
I don't care where you are from or where you live, the fact that you understand why this flag means so much, and you feel it in your heart, that makes YOU American.
Welcome friend!
You hit the nail on the head. The democracy our forefathers bled for is a treasure worth fighting for. And although the constitution is an evolving document, it’s based upon equality for all of its citizens and their freedom.
More American than half of the population of USA.
I love the effort you go to in order to understand the words you’re hearing. Thank you for showing respect in this way. Many people don’t think Americans have culture, this is our culture (a small piece) but it’s an important one. There’s a reason the land of the brave is so prideful.
I agree. I was very impressed when I saw him do that.
Not like a child. You cried like a man. While i was in the Navy one of my tasks was to draw down the flag in the evening. Always a time of intense reflection for me. It may be hard to have national pride at this horrible time, but keep your head up. Always remember the things you love about your homeland. Respect.
I think one of the best things about The Star Spangled Banner, is that it isn’t just for
“Americans”, it is for all Freedom loving people. God bless and keep safe, people who believe in “Truth, Justice, and the American way!
Love it. For much of my life my political mantra was "less government, lower taxes". In the last ten years I added "Truth, Justice and the American Way".
No, it was for Americans. At the time and future Americans wherever they come from. It wasn't written and it's not sung for anyone but Americans. Why would it be?
It can give inspiration to people from other nations, but it wasn't written for them unless they became American. It doesn't belong to the world.
@@ChristaFree I was referring to the flag aka Old Glory aka Star Spangled Banner aka the Flag of the United States of America.
Young man, those of us who have fought and those who have died in battle. We will not allow the flag to touch the ground, I personally am glad that you took the time to learn why our flag is so important to us.
God bless you man. Much love to Russia from USA.
I was very touched at how our national anthem moved you. I'm a 50 year old daughter of a marine, a granddaughter of an Army Major General. The national anthem has given me goosebumps my entire life. The story behind our anthem is why we get so angry when our own people disrespect our flag, our anthem, and our Constitution. What George Washington said about an American christian dying on our feet than live on our knees, is a very true statement. Thank you for this video and for your emotional reaction, it brought tears to my eyes. God bless you!
The fact that a young Russian man would even take the time to watch this impresses me. The less than warm, fuzzy feelings between our respective national governments make it even more amazing. Thank you for doing so. Your reaction was very touching and says a great deal about your character and your heart. It's nice to see that your curiosity and you desire to learn are stronger that politics.. Bless you in your endeavors to learn.
Wow, thank you!!!
@@MyEnglishWorld8 If you want to see the best presentation of the Star Spangled Banner, listen to the performance of it by Whitney Houston from 1991 @ the Super Bowl game in Tampa, Florida. It was epic and is considered one of the best ever sung.
The less than warm, fuzzy feelings between our respective national governments is exactly right -- it's between our governments.
When I was a child before the internet, we didn't like Russians. And I followed that, even as the son of Russian immigrants. But now that we have the internet and the Russian people can communicate with the American people directly instead of only knowing what propaganda says about each other I see nothing but harmony between Russians and Americans.
IM A 60 YR OLD AMERICAN AND I CRIED THROUGH THIS ENTIRE VIDEO I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD THIS MANY TIMES AND I CRY EVERY TIME OVERWHELMED WITH AMERICAN AND CHRISTIAN PRIDE. Thank you sincerely
I tear up everytime the national anthem is played.
@@pandawarriors33 same.
I have found the best way to not cry is to sing along.
@@Pip8448 nope then i really lose it lol
The first time I heard this I was driving home from work. Spent 20 minutes in a strangers driveway because I couldn't stop crying.
I now understand the lyrics in our national anthem. It took a Russian to bring awareness of our hard won freedom and beautiful national anthem. Thank you. wish you the best in your flight to freedom.
Thank you for taking the time to understand America. As an American, my mother would play Russian music while I was growing up. It helped me to understand your culture. The music was so sad
We will stand on our feet and not bow to our knees means we will fight to the end, never surrendering and never bowing down to another nation. Thank you for understanding what this flag means to us.
Facts. Especially in these trying times.
When you bow to your knees to another man, you are showing god your @ss.
Stand up straight so god sees your mind.
Unless that nation happens to be China. Not only do we kneel, we lick their boots. Sometimes I feel like the only American left in this corrupt generation.
And that is why NFL players (at the instruction of their masters in China) were commanded to kneel during the national anthem. While wearing uniforms and shoes made by actual slaves. They were ordered to disrespect and spit on our country, our flag and our anthem. By a country whose people are all enslaved. These athletes don’t care about anything but winning and money. And they sold their souls to China. They are actual slaves doing what they’ve been ordered to do
Do not forget we will also not bow down to tyranny. More important than other countries atm
This is one reason why you don't kneel during the National Anthem. You stand tall and proud.
Unless you are a Godless leftist. Skin color is more important than freedom.
I will edit this with...More important than Liberty.
Thank you, for showing this to America. I will show this to my grandchildren.
Thank you for your amazing reaction to this story that is so important and means so much to so many of us Americans. Please don't ever apologize for stopping to translate a word here and there because to me that just means that you are genuine and really do care about what you are hearing and the importance of it, enough to take the time to make sure that you understand the things that you might not be sure about and that just makes it mean so much more to those of us who care about it so much as well. Well done good Sir, I have subscribed to your channel and can't wait to check out the rest of your content. Much love to you from Kentucky, USA!
Thank you Kristy for kind words :) Best wishes to you !!! :)
"He will die on his feet before he will live on his knees"
Amazing quote!
i love the fact he translated the words he didn't know. truly wanted to understand
You don't have to say sorry! I cried too!
Thank you so much for understanding our flag. God bless you. And God bless America.
You don't have to be American to appreciate this story. It is an illustration of the human spirit. The willingness to die for your beliefs. We were such a young country when this happened.
We are still a young country to the rest of the world.
I am a former female US Marine who loves my country and my flag, and for you to give such a heartfelt reaction brought me to tears. Thank you! And, your Engligh is beautiful.
We are still a young country compare to our allies and other countries like Russia Japan Germany and Britain
Not gonna lie, as an american, I always tear up when I hear the National Anthem, if it's done right
I have noticed that Russians are very patriotic and are fiercely proud of their country, just like the Americans are! God Bless! I just want to take Alex in my arms and give him a great big hug. His tears touched me so!
Now you can understand why we Love our flag. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I cried hearing this story. Amazing! Love my country and National Anthem!
I cry every time I hear it.
This is the spirit of our Nation and its people. We never give up..just in our dna. That's why it's never a good idea to wake this sleeping giant...as Japan found out. My ancestors fought in the Colonial wars, the Revolutionary war, Civil War, WW1 and WWII, and all the others. Thank you for watching.
Mine did as well.
More than that, it's the spirit of God-fearing men.
Prayers for your people. May they know peace and freedom.
Land of the Brave 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯I Love my country 🎉🇺🇸🇺🇸🎉🎊
Thank you for taking the time to watch this and learn why Americans are so very patriotic. We are a family, we may bicker and squabble amongst ourselves but when our country and our freedom are threatened, we stand tall side by side and defend it with our lives. That is how this country gained its freedom. By standing together and the bloodshed of our founders.
It is no small irony how so many Americans say they will stand tall side by side to defend our country, yet the Active Duty population of the ENTIRE (not yelling, just emphasis) U.S. Military is 0.45% of the country's population. I am a 0.45%er. I'm not doubting your patriotism, just sharing a little known fact. So many people talk, yet so few volunteer. Before you say anything, if you decide to, understand I'm not looking for any platitudes. While expressions of appreciation for my service are appreciated more than you might likely ever know, I neither look for them nor expected them. All I would ask is that if you see someone wearing a uniform or something showing they are a Veteran, tell them, "Welcome Home" rather than thank you. Especially if they wear a hat or shirt stating they are a Vietnam Veteran. Those brothers and sisters were treated the worst by the country they swore to defend.
Thank you.
Did you know Russia supported us in our revolution? You are our oldest ally. Your country sent us much aid in our revolution. And Lincoln and Tsar Nicholas were good friends and wrote each other often. They both had people they wanted to free and discussed their challenges. Britain has tried to destroy the a 🇷🇺 🇺🇸 relationship ever since. 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇷🇺
About time someone finally said it! No one believed me when I said this and I was beginning to think that maybe I was wrong. Thank god, I’m not alone on that. Also Russia had sent their own battleships to protect us while we were fighting each other in the civil war. While France and the U.K. Had supported the south, Russia supported the north. There are actual historical documents describing the ships landing in Boston Harbor.
This is true 👆
And now your current president is trying to blame Russia for everything. Should be looking at China
@@shaungordon9737 IKR!
Wow, I did not know this!
I am so glad you are watching this story. It will effect your heart.
I am proud of you you are improving very well. With love and Blessings to you and your love ones. Elaine.
I cry every time I hear it. My daughters think its strange right now, it's my duty as a father to make sure they understand why when theyre a bit older.
*"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"- Patrick Henry 1775
I along with Patrick say give me liberty or give me death
Thank you for taking the time to understand why we hold our flag, our country, and our freedom so dear. Love from 🇺🇸
Please, you never need to apologize for being touched by the National Anthem. I teared up with you. As a disabled veteran, I love you and you are so welcome here in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
My father told me as a child the story about our National Anthem. He told me that after that, no matter what war was being fought, soldiers died rather than let our flag touch the ground. He said men died on Guadalcanal simply to keep the flag from touching the ground. He fought with the Marines in Korea and I'm sure saw some terrible things. But he made sure that his children understood and appreciated our flag and its history. So when I see people kneeling during the Anthem or otherwise failing to respect the flag that so many fought and died for, it makes me so sad and angry. I so appreciate you taking the time to look at this video and learning the history of it and the sacrifices that have been made for it.
I am glad, you being a Russian, took the time to try and understand the real meaning of our flag. The U.S. cannot be defeated BECAUSE of this strong belief. Nor do we wish to "defeat" any other country. It is FAR better to share and learn, than to fight!
I am a very PROUD United States Navy veteran. I tear up every time I hear the anthem.
Thank you for your service!
I live here. I get goose bumps, and tear up. It is great to be American!!!!
This should be taught in all AMERICAN SCHOOLS WE NEED TO GET BACK TO OR GREAT HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY
President Trump was putting this all in place. Those were his sentiments exactly!
You didn't cry like a child, you cried as an empathetic man for people that died for their ideals. The story has some inconsistencies (Fort McHenry, not Henry, and it *was* a military fort) but overall the majority is correct.
The United States is the only country in the world where anyone can become an American. The same does not hold true if you went to another country. If you went to Italy, you don't become Italian or if you go to Russia, you don't become Russian! Being American is not part of a race! What it is, is people yearning to be free. To have a better life and to live as God would want us to live. I'm proud of my National Anthem. All too often, Americans don't know the history so they don't listen to our Anthem. Each time I hear it, I choke up, get a lump in my throat, my eyes well up and my heart fills with pride! 🇺🇲
Because most countries on earth got its own natives and culture from history and thousund of years of development??? While american natives were colonized and exterminated In all the continent by diseace maybe??? And the same can be said in canada and Australia and all of south América dont give yourself self importance, this countries become inmigrant states after all with a western european origin, most countries started as tribal native people living in that área even in the american continent but colonization happened
@@francoisdaureville323and? Still the best!
I always feel like crying when I hear my national anthem lol you're not alone.
I cry every time! Hearing the story or hearing the anthem! America is my home! Always has been and always will be! I'm proud to be an American!
You have an American heart ❤🇺🇸
Just imagine the tears you will have when you become a citizen and sing this song.
USA, the greatest nation ever conceived on earth.
Patriots from time to time have to stand in the firing line to save it.
Soon it will be time to water the tree of liberty, because of the Corporate Big Tech/Pharma CCP general socialistic commie Democrat traitors & infiltrators with their zombie sheeple of Our We, of & by the people Gov't. Soon very soon We the people will rise to fight and reestablish the Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. As the saying goes you can only poke a bear/Eagle so many times. Soon.
Thinking of you my Russian brother this 4th of July. All my love ♥️💙🇺🇸
We Americans are very devote to our flag. It repersents all the lives lost here and abroad when we are called to action. You will often see us with tears flowing down our cheeks when the anthem is played. Thank you for such a lovely response to our story as we fought for our independence.
My English World, Thank You for watching this video and learning to understand about why we honor and respect our flag. It is our forefathers true Patriots who gave their lives so we could be free. And through the years our military fight everyday to keep us safe and free. Love from America.
I wept throughout this video. It breaks my heart that so many of our own citizens have no idea why the older generation of our country love and respect our flag and so deeply appreciate what it stands for. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and reaction with us.
I cry every time I see this. Thank you for your tears - we know they come from a beautiful heart. God bless you & God bless America!
Я опрокидываю свою шляпу тебе, молодой человек. Меня согревает то, что вы и другие граждане узнаете о Знамени, усыпанном звездами, и о том, что это значит. Приветствую вас. I tip my hat to you young man. It warms my soul to know that you and other nationals are learning about the Star Spangled Banner and what it means. Salute to you.
I don't know if these guys are foreigners or immigrants, but it's heartbreaking to see that these guys (this is the 2nd video like this that I've watched) have a better understanding and appreciation of the anthem than many many native born Americans. This story still brings tears to my eyes... and I'm Hispanic AND native American. I understand and accept the past. This change that this land and it's people experienced was inevitable. Not sure if the Bolsheviks, Asians, or Indians would've still lead us to where we are now. Now is what we know. This IS who we are. God bless the USA.
Now you understand why our flag, our anthem, our country and out soldiers mean so much to the American people. It all has a very deep meaning to us.
As a kid I didn't really understand the meaning behind the song when I first learned it. Understanding the whole context now actually made me cry for the first time in years. Those brave men and women knew they probably wouldn't make it, yet they willingly risked their life for their fellow countryman and the future of their country.
It was a real warheads on foreheads experience.
This is why we never allow our flag to touch the ground, or even lower it in a parade. Thank you for reacting. ❤️
Love that you stop and look up the meaning of words you don't know instead of just letting it pass by. Shows that you're involved in what you're watching. Keep up the great videos
My heart fills with pride and my eyes with tears every time I hear this story and just hear the anthem. God Bless Everyone!
Never be shy about looking up a word, spelling, meaning, etymology, pronunciation, etc. I was born and raised in English and will be 70 next year. I still look up words nearly every day. There is always room for improvement.
Your reaction is amazing and appreciated. Thank You from the bottom of my heart!
Thank you for playing our national anthem. Hugs for you!
Good on ya mate..we love you from america
This story brings a tear to my eye everytime
We have a beautiful saying here in the US about our flag.
"It is not the wind that moves our flag, but the breath of the men and women who died to protect it and what it represents!".
Greetings from America, thank you for your respect as I will respect your Country and People. ✌
It’s that “tell us where the flag is” “what have they done with the flag” part for me 😭 Now my supposed fellow countrymen burn it for fun.
Enjoyed your reaction! It’s touching to know that Russians and people all over the world seem to have more respect for our country than a majority of people who were born here.
Only because they haven't been taught how to respect the flag for the past 30 years, needs to be brought back into the school, my generation said the pledge allegiance in the morning and we were taught about why Star-Spangled Banner is what it is and why it's our national anthem this isn't anything new to my generation just sad that the younger Generations have not been taught this
It’s really heartwarming to see a man from Russia cry as he learns the story behind our national anthem. It’s extremely sad that a lot of people here have no respect for the flag. If they knew anything about the flag and actually respected it, they would know that the flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding or drapery. They also wouldn’t use it to beat up cops, storm the Capitol and fly it next to the confederate flag.
God bless you sir🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼
Wow Aleks, I only saw this now. How fabulous that you are now in the USA, living the dream. Freedom is wonderful.
My forefathers fought in the American Revolution, 1812, and almost every war since. The history of this is why I am a Veteran, Stand for the Anthem. The flag stood because of the bodies holding it there and it was waving because of the last breaths of those men keeping it moving.
My family has been in this country of ours since at least the mid-1700s, and at least one member has served ever since, up to today, including myself. Welcome home, brother, and thank you.
My family heritage goes so far back. I'm 1/2 Lakoda Sioux, and the other colonials who fought in wars on American soil up to now.
Even 9/11 we have the most heartfelt patriotic picture of our American Flag flying amongst the fallen towers, being held up by our heroes, the first responders... Firefighters, Law Enforcement, Port Authority, Veterans, brave Americans who also survived the day the world watch terrorist try and destroy us. Once again, Old Glory shown the world and proudly waved her colors high! Proving proudly to the world, our FLAG is still flying.
Thank you, you dear sweet humble man from Russia, for caring enough for humanity, and wanting, truly deep in your heart to understand America, and her people's reason for honoring our Nation's Flag. God Bless You, and I pray one day you can come to America, and take in our most beautiful peaceful places you'll never forget. We have a song "God Bless America"...it gives a perfect description of our land. 💞🙏
🎼 God Bless America
God bless America,
Land that I love,
Stand beside her and guide her Thru 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,
My home, sweet home.🙏 🇺🇸💞🏞️
@@Pecos1 Same with my family. They were brought here as indentured servants by the Dutch governor in new Amsterdam. They fought in every war from the French and Indian war to the war on terrorism.
@@saltycorpsman245 nice, Doc.
I respect anyone who cries for this story because it’s one of the greatest moments that made our nation so strong. This story showed how we were allowed to have a choice to believe in what we want, and fight for our passions and beliefs to our dying breath.
Now you went and made me cry. You are a man with a big heart and you are going to be a great part of America we're glad to have you here. Welcome to America 🇺🇸
Freedom!!# God Bless America and help!!
