Army Reserve Chaplain Higgins shares an experience he witnessed while stationed in Balad, Iraq. As I read, I felt the pride I often do when one writes about our brave young men and women in the US Military.

I recently attended a showing of “Spiderman 3″ here at LSA Anaconda. We have a large auditorioum we use for movies as well as memorial services and other large gatherings. As is the custom back in the States, we stood and snapped to attention when the National Anthem began before the main feature. All was going as planned until about three-quarters of the way through the National Anthem the music stopped.

Please read the complete story. It is relatively short but speaks volumes.
