More Roman's Trivia: National Anthems, Part 2

Romanoffia

Garde à l'eau!
Here's another goodie - God Save The Queen:

Every American should visit England. Why? Because it is part of every American's history, tradition and continuity of those traditions and history.

No American has ever lived until they have walked through Westminster Abbey. It is the ultimate historical experience of a lifetime. There is nothing so moving as to walk over the graves of so many important historical figures that embody the spirit of Anglo-Saxon Civilization.

In the US, we used the melody of "God Save the King/Queen" as our official and usually unofficial National Anthem. And Why did we do that? Because of tradition and our need for continuity.

Most Americans today forget that the very purpose of our "Revolution" was to preserve the very traditions, continuity and customs that were always considered the very Rights of Englishmen. Oh, how we have wandered from those traditions, customs and very rights we hold sacred as 'former' Englishmen.

Oh, how it is all going oh, so wrong.

:P
 
It's supposed to be a factoid, as noted by the thread title.

I should have presented it as a"Point of Trivia". :P
