Emotional impact: 10-year-old wows with national anthem, brings tears to grown men

Share this:

Teaching children to respect their country from an early age is so important. They need to understand and appreciate the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who fought for the freedom we have today.

One way to show this respect is by standing up during the National Anthem. Unfortunately, not many young people do that anymore.

For those who don’t know, The Star-Spangled Banner became the official national anthem of the U.S. in 1931, but its history goes back much further. The lyrics come from a poem called The Defence of Fort M’Henry, written by Francis Scott Key in September 1814.

Key was inspired to write this poem after he saw the British Navy bomb Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. Despite the heavy attack, the American flag continued to fly, and this powerful image led him to write the famous lyrics we know today.

Now, The Star-Spangled Banner is played at sports games and big events to send a message that, no matter our race, religion, or political views, we are all united as Americans.

Performing the anthem is no easy task. The lyrics and melody make it challenging, which is why it’s usually sung by professional musicians or played as a recording.

But one amazing performance came from 10-year-old Jadon Perez. Jadon’s family and friends have always known about his incredible voice, but now the world does too!

Jadon is popular on TikTok, but he became a sensation when a video of him singing the national anthem went viral. He sang at a golf tournament fundraiser, and his performance was nothing short of amazing.

The announcer introduced him by saying, “I want him to come try out for The Voice, that’s how good this little boy is!”

When Jadon began to sing, the entire audience was captivated. His voice was so beautiful, it brought even the adults to tears. People couldn’t stop praising him for his angelic performance.

One viewer, a veteran, commented, “I’m a 75-year-old retired army vet who served twice in South Vietnam and in Desert Storm. Just hearing this young man with this gift made me appreciate what this country is all about. God bless you, young man, and may your life be full of much joy and happiness.”
