non americans taking thier hats off during this video....thats real respect right there

To anyone that reads this from America......I love you.

his son wanted to put is hand on his chest, made me almost cry , you do it son, America loves and supports the graham family

I'm an American, and I served in the Armed Forces for 30 years. When Mr. & Master "Graham Family Reacts" removed their caps during this video, I'm not ashamed to say it made me cry--I'm so grateful to those who show respect--God bless you all.

I love you all for being silent during my national anthem!

This actually happened during the War of 1812. We were already an independent country. The British invaded to try to regain control.

Now you understand why we don't let our flag touch the ground..

I’m a former Army attack helicopter pilot with combat experience…thank you for your reaction and respect! I will not live on my knees…

That why the flag cant touch the ground and we love our flag no retreat no surrender.

We Troopers don't ever let the American flag on the ground.

I'm 74 years old, I didn't think I had any tears left.

Im,an American who has had a deep love of our early history all my life. This incident took place during the war of 1812. In 1776 Ameica declared its independence from England. Once America gained its independence after the war in 1782, the British Empire tried to conquer its former colonies. In 1812 they sent a huge fleet and invaded. They waged war, burned and pillaged as they went..... including the president's residence ( which after the war got rebuilt and painted white to cover up the scorch marks..... and that's why it's called the White House today) The bombardment of Fort Henry is just on of the AMAZING stories that come from our history. The deeply touches my heart to see a father teaching his son such values to a son who obviously sees his father as a hero ❤ And now you understand why some Americans hold our flag in such reverence and why we are the way we are❤

One non-truth is it was the war of 1812 and we did not have colonies anymore. We had states.

I am an American 69 yrs old, and have never heard this explained in such detail. This story must be told in every American school house, for I fear its meaning has been lost. God Bless!

I’ve seen that flag in person. It’s why, unfortunately unlike many of my countrymen, I am absolutely patriotic and loyal to this country, knowing what was sacrificed to make this nation

That flag is permanently housed in the National Museum of American History, one of the Smithsonian Institution museums on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The thirteen stripes represent the 13 original colonies and the stars represent each state. Each color has a meaning and the flag is even folded a certain way! A flag recovered from ground zero of the World Trade Center from the 9/11 atacks was carried into the opening ceremony of the 2002 Winter Olympics.\

I miss this patriotism being commonplace is the US. We have a lot of work to do right now.

You are raising you son right. I love that he has a respectful attitude and a kind heart. I can tell that our history touched his heart. Love to the Graham Family from Texas USA!

I cried when I saw this young man put is hand up. I love our flag I'm from an US Army family born and raised on a Army base

I come from generations of veterans and married an AF MP. We are from Texas and all that I know would die before living on our knees. We will fight man, woman and child for our country. It’s why I was ashamed of so many that took a knee during the anthem there for a while. We may be divided at times internally but the past has proven that if someone attacks us, we will band together and fight. God bless all the servicemen and women and their families who have sacrificed for all of us.

What happened after is yet to be determined because to this day we Americans have and will continue to fight for freedom anywhere in the world. God Bless and happy Independence Day! 🙂

I send my thanks from Indiana for the show of respect for our national flag.

the British left, they realized they couldn't win against that level of determination

Much respect to the Graham family from Pittsburgh.

Our flag like yours has meaning in the colors. The red is of Valor while also the blood of the fallen, the blue is of Justice and the white of purity. We don't just fight a war just because we can. We fight because it's the right thing to do. A soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him but because he loves what is behind him. We will fight protect the people of other nations just as we protect our own

Thank you for teaching your son the truth. As an American, I salute you.

As a AMERICAN thank you for taking the time to learn our history and pass it on to younger generation full respect!!

8m a Navy vet, I tear up everytime I hear the anthem and this video. 1999% PROUD TO BE AMERICAN,

The American founding fathers were exceptional. Artists, philosophers, scientists, scholars, inventors, writers…. I wish we still had that culture of mastery in the US.

As an American I love and appreciate the respect you and the family had for the story. Even as an American it’s so sad that even too many AMERICANS don’t even know what the songs about…

Thanks for taking off your hats!! Class move.

The error is that Key didnt pen a song. He only wrote a poem. It wasnt put to music until about 40 years later using an older British societal musical score. It wasn't approved as the national anthem until 1931.

I was a Medic in the North Carolina Army National Guard from 1981 to 1987. Now you know why Veterans do not want Old Glory on the ground. This Battle occurred during the War of 1812. There are 4 Verses to the Star Spangled Banner.

I think this was 1812 war, they needed this fort to send smaller boats to Baltimore the biggest city at the time and i believe the president was there after they burnt down the white house. This fort saved the country. I believe 2 weeks later peace treaty was signed and england left for good.

You seldom hear more than just the first verse. It's so good to hear the second verse. It's so beautiful.

Every time I see that video it makes me want to watch The Patriot

I am a 73 year old American Woman. I learned this history in school. Unfortunately our children are no longer learning this. Every time I hear the Star-Spangled Banner I cover my heart and stand proud with tears streaming down my face

Your son holding his hand over his heart as “The Star Spangled Banner” was sung brought tears to my eyes. That was so special and so sweet. Thank you. ♥️🇺🇸🤍🇺🇸💙

The war of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain is the final battle between the United States and the United Kingdom. Afterwards, we have always been special allies!

Sending Love to My Graham family from Pensacola Beach 🏖 Florida USA 🇺🇸. 👍❤️🇺🇸

As an American I always stand and hold my hand over my heart for our national anthem, in respect for and SO MANY THANKS to all military veterans past, present and future. I am so amazed by their courage and commitment to give me the wonderful life I have. (This story is basically true. Yes, there are some inaccuracies, but it reflects our historical wonderful military. ♥)

Respect for the Graham famiy for showing respect of our history!❤

this gives you a greater understanding of our national anthem, so sing it loud -America- and be proud

Thank You Graham Family!! God Bless You Always!! We Are The Land Of The Free And The Home Of The Brave!! Love And Prayers!!💟✝

I Love that you Love our America. Thank You. Much Love Family and God Bless You All. I hope that all of you come and visit us soon. 🙂

This was during the War of 1812. The name of the fort is Fort McHenry not Henry and the actual flag from Fort McHenry is on display at the Smithsonian museum in Washington DC.

I absolutely love that he took his hat off just to watch the video. Love this family

The original flag is at the Smithsonian in DC and the Francis Scott key is the creator of our national anthem also

Thank you so, so much for the respect to show for this country and our flag. If our flag is torn or weather worn or needs to be replaced, it is taken down and brought to either a veterans agency or even a police station. And if the flag is flown at night, it has to be lit. It is sad for a lot of us Americans to see our flag being destroyed and disrespected by so many lately. Let's hope that will change soon. 🇺🇸

The Flag is in Washington DC on Display

I’m an RN, a mother, and grandmother. I will not kneel.🇺🇸

Our flags is our pride can't thought the ground God bless America 🙏

Our American flag is the heaviest tombstone that flies forever in the air, which kind of blows my mind to this day 💕💞💖🫂😍💯❣️🥰🇺🇸🫡🎉🥰❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Thank you for the respect, your raising your son proper. The flag means SO much, the problem is most that know this story understand the importance of the flag. Most are Republicans, unlike the Democrats that burn the flag and hate America. Again, thx for the respect. Ya got a great family

I still tear up when I hear this song… every single time 🇺🇸

The longer the song goes on, the closer the kids hand moves to his heart, God bless America!

We had a terrific 4th, thank you family , from your friends in Chicago! Peace.

This is during the War of 1812 we were NOT the Colonies we were the United States

Yes you did it!!! I'm so happy you showed them this video!!! ❤❤❤

This was during the war of 1812. After we had won the war for our independence declared in 1776. As Americans we are very proud of our flag. Thanks for reacting to this. God Bless you all.

Great reaction, beautiful family. Thank you for the Love and Respect.

God bless united states of america.We love it so much.❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

Thanks for your reaction. Many people and Countries don’t understand what our flag means to us. We display them on our homes and all across America. Eventually, Our 13 colonies defeated the British and we now celebrate our Independence Day every July 4th.

It always warms my heart to hear folks from other countries comment on this amazing story. Many thanks to you and your family. If you make it to Texas I would be honored to show y'all around the San Antonio area.

Thank you for showing them this video. The perfect day for it. You have a very special family. That young man is amazing such respect already. Love you Graham Family.

Hello Family! In my grade school in the 60s and High school in the early 70s we were basically taught that Francis Scott Key pened the anthem during the battle. I too, have always loved history. I was a member of the Yorkers in Junior High and High School. During my tenure in the US Army, the first part I served as a Bandsman. I auditioned at West Point while in college. Then, they thought I went crazy and I volunteered for the M1 Tank when it first came out. This time of year, I think of all the countless Chains of Commands played, Burials I played taps. To this day there are recordings of the very high visibility ones. The Ceremonies for all occasions, Played for 2 sitting Presidents and the Iranian Hostages. The Anthem always chokes me up. I think of all that was willing to give some and most importantly those who gave all. This is what the Anthem means to me. Now, an old Patroit. Loved the reaction. Peace. Stay safe. God Speed. 🍻❤️🌹🤘🎺

This is why many of us Americans respond FIERCELY to disrespect of our Flag. Francis Scott Key did have the bridge that goes into Baltimore named after him. It was just destroyed recently, by an out of control ship, from Ukraine.

I love Garon. He seems like such a good kid.

The larger, and more famous, of the two flags down over McHenry during the bombardment is on display in the Museum of American History in Washington, DC.

From America - thank you for your beautiful respect.

I love your family's appreciation and respect you give our country. You take the time to learn and understand, when so many others don't. Thats wonderful and it doesn't go unnoticed. Your son is so sweet and considerate. You're raising a good kid, both of them. Never change you guys. You're great people! Love from USA (Wisconsin) 🇺🇲

Even took your hats off lol much respect. If you guys ever visit America and your in the Michigan area, I'd love to take you all out on lake Michigan for some fun salmon fishing.

The narrator said "let me tell you a story", so some of this was exaggerated to make the story more interesting, but Francis Scott Key did pen the National Anthem, the fort does exist, and the flag can be seen at the Smithsonian Institution's Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.

Thank you Graham family. I tell my family in the military about your channel. I greatly appreciate your respect.

I was stationed in England for 2 yrs. Beautiful country and people!😊

I love how y'all love America🇺🇲🇺🇲✌️✌️

⁰American people have fought bravely for everything they have. They're the first to step forward to help oppressed peoples world wide. All branches of America's armed forces is volunteers, where other countries coerce their people to fight. So yes we are proud.

Lovely reaction! This was my first time here, thank you for allowing me to do that! I enjoyed your reaction! I subscribed and left a like for you while I was here! Thank you for all of the respect shown to our Flag and our National Anthem! AWESOME! I recommend Michigan for fishing if you come to America!

Great job Graham family

Francis Scott Keye lived into his late 70's and was a signature on the Declaration of Independence. That man gave the USA it's soul.

Watching from Jonesville NC United States Thank you for everything you do love your videos God bless

Hey boss I want to let you know that you're doing a phenomenal job with that young man you're raising!!! He showed absolute respect for the American flag and people!! I watched his hand slowly start creeping up to his heart as this National Anthem continued to play!!! Most of our children don't even show that much respect for our flag and what it means!!!! Great Job to you folks and your parenting!!

Hello from Tennessee may God bless your family

Glad to see your back and feeling better.

Much love from a very troubled america.

Thank you Jono, for the respect .

That short 15 mins that young man will remember for life !!

People "SAY" there's inaccuracy's... but do your own research to find the truth.

God bless yall! Hats off for it

I fly the flag outside my house. It was rags and tatters. I didn't throw it away, I took it down, folded in and put it in a display glass case and it never touched the ground. Then I put up the new one. My heart drops when I see our great flag touching the ground

I really enjoy your program.Thank you very much. I live in united states and we love people from south africa in britain and around the world.God bless

Happy independence day for America

Nice of your family to look at this video.....I am 64 yrs of age and only found out about this story a few years ago via reactions. I keep watching and tear up every single time. Our schools don't teach this as far as I know, definitely not in my youth either. It is so important, especially in such a divided america that I live in everyday....people out their nasty comments of how bad America is and bash living here....these are the people that need to see this and humble up a bit.... ignorance should be addressed with this video and watch reactions of non Americans like yourselves. Thanks guys, I enjoyed your reaction....

Baltimore named a bridge after Francis Scott Key!❤

Everyone should notice that the last lyric of the Anthem is a question, not a statement.

God bless America

Thank you for your respect from Michigan in USA🫶🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸God Bless you🙏

thanks for listening to this. Love your growing channel from Rochester, NY. PC and love to you and your family! Its sad that our youth are not being taught this in school, and a successful channel is educating Amercans

I'm from America, live in New Hampshire. Thank you I may never meet you but know this I love you too! Everyone should know within you lies God's liberty of the American spirit hidden in you.Dare to bring liberty to your land. We will discuss this conversation one day.
