Nothing. It’s a beautiful song.

And, unlike the Pledge of Allegiance, it didn’t have “under God” inserted into it in the 50’s.

There is that. Good point. I just always recall one of my dad’s stories, about a bunch of American kids singing it together before jumping out of a plane over Nazi terroritory. Asked later why they didn’t sing TSSB, one of the survivors said they didn’t think of it.

And I guess “My Country ‘Tis of Thee’ is difficult because of the tune.

What about “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue”?
