How dare you mock our culture and heritage. The song intro "This is my country; God gave it to me;<br />I will protect it, ever keep it free." shows the dedication to freedom in our country that has been lacking ever since. Did you know that in 1965 our state govt. went vacant? "There are none more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." However, I do think a state rock song would be in order.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533010775907799154.post-1146432757950908402009-03-02T12:40:00.000-08:002009-03-02T12:40:00.000-08:00Found some good stuff on "Washington Beloved" in o...Found some good stuff on "Washington Beloved" in our files, including the sheet music and an old article about its writing and its history as the "state anthem" from PNQ (April 1960).
