During the summer of ’72 I was to personally experience a moment of emotional duality that merged happiness and horror within a thirty second timeframe. The hazy images in my mind of the accident are still with me after forty-one years. I hope they are still true. The brain has a way of blurring the grainy pictures of memory in order to soften moments of mind numbing intensity. The altered memories of four decades ago are still providing the grist of repeated nightmares. My brothers and

throughout the land. As the days passed, speculation of America national anthem came into question, renewing a debate as to whether the Star Spangled Banner should continue to be the national anthem.
