Made just after the outbreak of WWII, this stirring rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” features reassuring images of the U.S. Navy’s fleet, cadets at West Point, and even President Franklin Roosevelt. A truly stirring rendition especially when you consider the audience that watched it, was doubtlessly helping in the war effort, and probably had sons or relatives at the front and on the seas.
