An Awesome Story

I went to stock cards in a Dollar Store yesterday for American Greetings.  While I was putting up new cards, a negro mother and her three children came into the store.  The toy aisle is located on the same aisle as one of my card runs and can get a bit unruly when it is overrun by children.  There were two boys and girl, all young, the oldest couldn't have been more than a second grader.  After their loud exchange on the toy aisle, their mother hollered from the front of the store for them to come up to the register while she checked out.  The children followed her instruction and made their way to the front of the store.  I then heard the mother tell them to stand right where they were until she was finished. The three children agreed to, though you could hear them fidgeting while they waited.  I could not see them from where I was working, but I could hear them.  Within a moment or two, one of the boys began to sing...The National Anthem!  It immediately caught the customers attention and we all listened as the other two children joined their brother and sang the anthem in it's entirety!  I have to say that I was a bit shocked and even more so, a bit overjoyed to have witnessed such a powerful moment.  It certainly made me proud to be an American.  It was an awesome moment.
