In June,1987, I was working at MCRD San Diego I went to see then Vic President George H.W.Bush give a speech. I sat on the front row & was 15 feet from him. I told coworkers that we not only seen Vice President George H.W.Bush, but President George H.W. Bush & I was right. I voted for George W.Bush in 2000 & 2004.
A true patriot and inspiration to all and I find it beautiful that Democrats and Republicans can put their differences aside and honor this amazing vice president and even better president rest in peace George we'll take it from here sir ❤🤍💙
Hello, I'm French and I read some of the comments about the music 'My Country,' Tis of Thee '. This music is French !! the current English anthem is of French origin, it was made for king louis fourteen to celebrate his healing by the superintendent of royal music jean-baptiste lully for the music and with words of madam de brinon "great god save the king "who served as the basis for the current" god save the queen "English. This music is still the basis of the national anthem of several countries and has been that of countries that have disappeared or changed anthem, which is the case of the United States of America that replaced 'My Country,' Tis of Thee 'in 1931 by "The Star-Spangled Banner"
Everyone steals everyone's music. Star Spangled banner takes its music from To Anacreon in Heaven. The tune from GSTQ is used in The Royal Anthem of Norway, the national anthem of Liechtenstein, My Country Tis of Thee, Heil Dir im Siegerkranz, and various other songs. The only Original National anthem is the former Hail, Columbia
@@nehankaranch2149 read it. i said that if the national anthem that praises the Chief Executive like God Save the Queen and Kimigayo, it will be Hail to the Chief. Have some reading comprehension.
@@junehunyo8798 Ironically, the melody for "God Save The King" is played by the military band in this video (yes, I know its "My Country, Tis of Thee").
@@whdstudios1054 Clearly you didnt read the comment right. It was meant for the guy who didnt know what "My country, tis of thee" was. My comment to you was agreeing with you.
The song is called My Country, 'Tis of Thee It is a popular patriotic song and it's the Former national anthem of the USA it uses the melody of God save the king

What you're referring to, which occurs at the 0:09 mark, are known as "Ruffles and Flourishes." The ruffles are the rolling drums and the flourishes are the two-note bugle call. Also, for the information of you and others who view this, the number of Ruffles and Flourishes depends on the rank or position of the person to whom honors are being rendered. For example, the president of the United States would receive four ruffles and flourishes, followed, of course, by "Hail to the Chief."
For the convenience and information of you and others who view this, there are actually words for "Hail to the Chief and they are as follows: Hail to the chief we have chosen for the nation! Hail to the chief, we salute him one and all! Hail to the chief as we pledge cooperation in proud fulfillment of a great, noble call. Yours is the aim to make this grand country grander. This you will do, that's our strong, firm belief. Hail to the one we've selected as commander! Hail to the president! Hail to the chief!
Boy lots to unpack here. He basically had no choice to raise taxes, he had a Democrat congress all 4 years he was president. He negotiated a tax package with the Democrats and they agreed. Taxes wouldn't get raised on the middle class but taxes would be raised on gasoline and other things. The Democrats agreed and supported the package. But Newt Gingrich who was the republican minority whip at the time backed out of the deal and the bill failed. Bush was left with no choice but to raise taxes
