Soldiers hearing the “Star-Spangled Banner” played before their favorite sporting event while serving in a foreign land once again realize their purpose, protect and defend the United States of America, because that’s where their heart is.

To most it is a reality where one can focus on the fact that we are here because of the sacrifice others made. Playing the National Anthem is not a form of entertainment, it is a patriotic way to introduce an American sporting event.
