Live watching the Paris Olympics opening ceremony. 40 mins into the show, I closed it and came back to see the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games opening ceremony just to make a comparison. Surely Delhi didn't disappoint. A splendid ceremony in Delhi full of great culture items well combed with entertainment. Much Better than London, Tokyo and now Paris.
Wow. I just looked this up to remind my husband of their outfits, upon hearing that SLC will host again! We were teenagers when this aired. Now we're both in tears, as soon as I saw that flag. We know where it came from. I completely forgot that "2002 Olympics" were right agter 9/11....2001.... my brain didn't connect the 2. I guess I forgot. But everything floods back with the sight of the flag. God Bless America. I saw a lotnof red faces in the video, and I guarantee it wasn't only on account of the cold air. If we're sitting here in tears in 2024, you bet people in 2002 being there live were in tears. How united we were. How proud to be Americans we were. What happened? I am prpid to be an American. I teach online to people overseas. I am proud to display my American flag in my online classroom. Land of the FREE. HOME of the BRAVE.
I have no doubt about her ability. But is this live? Or is the video we can see now a real live version? Or only the audience there that night could hear the real live version?
I’ve used this iconic song during my Graduation Ceremony and it gives me the power that I can really travel throughout my journey by the flame of perseverance and bravery. Awesome job, Tina !!🥳🎓
