I was a boyscout, I have considered myself 'patriotic' since and early age.
I served four years in the United States Marine Corps. (1981-1985)
I did fairly well in civics, social studies and other government classes.
Today, I was made aware for the first time,... that our National Anthem has a 2nd verse.
Check it out.
Oh, thus be it ever when free men shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto, "In God is our trust"
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
