American National Anthem

the last three stanzas are not now, nor ever were, part of the US national anthem

thanks for posting email forwards again though

Actually, all four stanzas were included in the March 3, 1931 law signed by Herbert Hoover making the song the naional anthem. Before that it was used by the Navy (from 1889 onwards) as the official song to be played at the raising of the flag.
Key's "motto" reference isn't to the official national motto but more along the lines of a suggested one, if you will. While "E Pluribus Unum" was used on the Great Seal of the U.S. it was never made official, and in 1956 the official motto was indeed made "In God We Trust", and it remains so until this day.

And I hate cut and pasted forwarded e-mails, too.

So, you do not like it and how am I supposed to care?

It is something to see and discuss.

If you so do not like it then do not post.

I take it you do not like information or other peoples thoughts?

If you are going to capitalize and italicize something to express a point (BEAUTIFUL) at least spell it right.

When I was in high school, we had a speaker come in and introduce the K.I.S.S concept.

Except his was "Keep It Simple, Stupid!"
