Of course it is sung in English...but it could also be sung in so many other languages.
When we teach our children about other lands(geography) we might go over that nations National Anthem. Do our children have to learn the language of that nation or will we get a copy of it in english?

I just figure if the Bible and Book of Mormon can be in different languages then there is nothing wrong with other peoples singing our national anthem in their own voices.
It should be a compilment that they would even want to.

So my vote goes to letting anyone sing it in what ever language they choice if it will help them understand it better.

Free speach...you know that minor little right we have.
:-D

I'm more worried about the current war and the possible war with Iran.

I have a dear friend from Iran...known her for about 10 yrs now. Her family is in Iran.
Did you know that Iran was very happy with Bush for getting Hussane?
Anyway...she said "Bush is Crazy"!
Yes she speaks english very very well.
Very very nice family.
In the war between Iran and Iraq her son was almost killed.
This son worked for us at the movie theatre. He is now in Iran trying to come back to the US with his wife. He is a US citizen but his wife is a citizen of Iran and going to have a baby.
They are a wonderful family...very hard working.

gotta go

Hugs and Blessings
Jean
