Here are a couple of responses that capture the beauty of the moment.
“I haven’t heard the Anthem sung with this much passion since Whitney Houston did back in 1990 at Superbowl 25…as a retired Marine you made me feel awesome,” wrote Jay Dillinger.
“Beautiful person. Beautiful woman. Beautiful voice. Beautiful American spirit. It’s people like her that help make America great!!” wrote Mike Riedel.
“Omg! Look at how everyone stopped what they were doing to listen to this young lady sing the National Anthem at the Lincoln Memorial! AMAZING! She needs to sing the National Anthem at the 2017 Super Bowl!!!!!” Wrote Nay Michelle.
In response to the overwhelming love on social media, Swain wrote these beautiful words on her Facebook page, “I see now, God is getting ready to do something big from what wasn’t even planned…almost 1M views. Thank you so much Kermit Virgil and my Marching 100 fam for spreading it like wildfire…and my friends and family who put me up to it!
