Chills….,
I find those scenes interesting considering only a few short years later was the war of 1812. In fact, up until WWI Britain was considered by the armed forces to be the no. 1 potential threat of the US.

Don't forget, Napoleon had troops in Haiti waiting to invade Louisiana until the Hatian uprising.

Head and shoulders the best ever!
For context, this was just when the war in Iraq was just launched with over 300,000 troops in theater. SoDamn Insane promised the Mother of all Battles. The fear of terror attacks so high there was talk of canceling the Super Bowl.
The emotions of the crowd was extremely high. I think she is fed off of that and it inspired her to new heights.
A tremendous voice, beautiful woman.
**** you forever Bobby Brown

Whitney's rendition is beyond st
llar.Interestingly, the melody of the Star-Spangled Banner was originally part of a British drinking song called "To Anacreon in Heaven" So, we Americans celebrate our independence from Britain by singing an anthem set to the tune of a British song. The irony! Francis Scott Key's lyrics come from the defense of Fort McHenry. The American lawyer wrote the poem on September 14, 1814, after he witnessed the bombardment of the fort by the British Royal Navy during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812. Key was inspired by the large U.S. flag, with 15 stars and 15 stripes, known as the Star-Spangled Banner, still flying triumphantly above the fort after the battle.
The story behind of the lyrics:

Fourth of July Protests Turn Violent As Leftist Activists Confront ICE, Burn Property

Over the Fourth of July weekend—a time meant to celebrate American freedom and unity—left-wing activists once again took to the streets, this time to protest President Donald Trump and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Instead of honoring the values that built the United States, demonstrators used the holiday to push divisive rhetoric and vent their outrage over Trump’s growing influence heading into the 2024 election. The protests highlight the left's continued obsession with vilifying Trump, even as millions of Americans credit his leadership with restoring strength, prosperity, and common sense to the country.
The demonstrations took place outside the ICE facility in Portland, where protesters reportedly confronted federal officers. Organizers were said to have coordinated a “caravan” that traveled from the South Portland ICE location to the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington. In response to escalating tensions, law enforcement deployed tear gas and used crowd control munitions to break up the gathering.
Antifa reportedly “committed an arson attack at the ICE facility in Portland.
