Hello,

Recently I was watching William J. Clinton Library grand opening ceremony, and a song came into my ear. It goes like "... california sunshine... to new york island..." and if memory serves it was performed by navy or marine corps and it was just 1 guy, not a choire.
Help me find the title please guys.

-Regards,

Yep, that's it. We used to have to sing it in school...there was a variety of patriotic songs we sang after the Pledge of Allegiance. They had lyrics like, "Oh say can you see by the dawnzerlee light..." :smile:
 
Historian seeks recognition for first English king https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9d07w50e15o Somewhere I have a list of Anglo-Saxon, Wessex and English kings. Well there is nothing new there. Parts of Britain experienced tribal rivalries/conflicts as well as invasions by the Romans, Vikings/Norsemen, Angles, Saxons and Jutes, then Normans, and various monarchs/emperors declared war on other monarchs/emperors. Seems that behavior has not ceased.
