A moment of shared compassion

http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/Video-Hockey-crowd-sings-after-8-year-old-s-nat?urn=nhl-306789


Check this out. A little girl is singing the national anthem, the mic gives out but the crowd continues on. Something similar happened here a few years ago. The singer was an adolescent and whether his voice was changing or he had a cold, he began to crack badly so the crowd just sang along with him. A moment of shared compassion. 


I have also seen America the Beautiful and God Bless America sung at sporting events- safer songs for the singers, and very inspiring, too.

I loved this video. I'm impressed by the girl's voice, too--she did a great job!
