The National Anthem, sung at the 9/11 Memorial, seems to be an appropriate way to honor those who died, as well as those who continue to fight the war on terrorism abroad. Yet, as the Waynesville Middle School chorus found out on their visit to New York City and the Memorial, singing is prohibited without a permit.
The group did get a verbal okay from the security guard before singing the National Anthem, however, mid-song they were told to stop singing.
9/11Memorial.org states that in order to perform 20 minutes of a musical performance, groups must have a permit for a designated day. The website also says, that “making noise that is unreasonable, or behaving in a way that is inappropriate given the solemn nature of the Memorial and the Memorial Museum”.
This group of middle school students did not sing for 20 minutes, thus, their spontaneous singing of the National Anthem does not technically fit this requirement and their “noise was both appropriate, reasonable and fitting to the solemn nature of the Memorial”.

Izlam and muzlims are not suitable for Western countries. WHY?
The quaran explains “taqiyya” which means individual muzlims must do what is required to propel izlam toward world$#%&!@*by forcing submission on all non muzlims. The time span between lying to you or killing you could vary from immediatey to decades or centuries. “Willful ignorance to the curse of izlam leads to subjugation and death.” HELLO?
What could be more right than to sing the National Anthem
Sing sing sing !!!
I WANT TO SEE THEM TELL ME TO STOP !
dumb fucks if not there where it’s America anywhere
Sing louder
This , if it is true, has become more then annoying, it borders greatly on infringing on our rights. This Administration Gould be ashamed at the ludicrous, and continuous assault on the American people’s rights to sing the National Anthem at the 911 Memorial?? I doubt this group of pansies we have in DC would allow themselves to sing God Bless America like the ones who sung the beautiful song following 911, and somehow I can’t even imagine Obama doing what Bush did at the sight of the devastation. We as a nation should let our voices heard at the total lack of patriotism the Bush at least showed towards the victims, survivors, the nation, our military and the all but forgotten duty of the President to encourage and support our ongoing war on terrorism. But guess that is just fantasy.
