Let’s recognize the four young men who respectfully and beautifully sang the “Star Spangled Banner” before the BCS football game Monday night.

They did not gyrate, scream, yell, dance, use amplified instruments or otherwise make the usual mockery of the song preceding major football games. They used only their beautiful voices and knowledge of good harmony to give honor and dignity to our national anthem.

Hooray for them!
