Today, while singing “God Bless the USA” during a Veterans Day patriotic program, I witnessed a special moment.
During the first chorus of the song, an older man in the back row stood to his feet. I acknowledged him with a small gesture of appreciation. When the second verse began, he sat back down.
As I continued, I noticed a young nurse, probably in his late twenties, helping a lady on the other side of the room. He had noticed the man standing during the first chorus.
When the chorus came around again, he stood once more. This time, the young nurse turned toward him and saluted him from across the room. The two men stood facing one another at attention until the song ended.
It was such a powerful moment. Here was a young man taking the time to honor an older gentleman who had served our country. The respect exchanged between them was louder than words.
I only wish I had a photo to capture that moment, but it’s a great memory 🫡🇺🇸
To all of you who are singing, playing for Veterans Day shows, I wish you well!
