New Zealander & American Reacts to "Star-Spangled Banner – As You’ve Never Heard It"

New Zealander & American Reacts to "Star-Spangled Banner – As You’ve Never Heard It" In this reaction, my American mate and I dive into one of the most moving performances of the U.S. National Anthem. When it spoke of the flag still standing, it gave us chills — not just a piece of cloth, but a living symbol of resilience, unity, and the sacrifices made for freedom. Coming from New Zealand, it’s incredible to see how the anthem and the flag unite Americans in moments of pride and emotion. Back home, we don’t experience national traditions with this same intensity, so witnessing it alongside my American friend really opened my eyes. 👋 Kia Ora from New Zealand!
