"The Star-Spangled Banner" is Baltimore's song, but at times like this I'm glad we gave it to the nation. From WCVB:
Bruins fans sing national anthem in emotional pregame ceremony -- click through and watch the video.
...The Boston Fire Department Honor Guard brought out the U.S. flag to honor the first responders who rushed to the aid of the three killed and more than 170 injured by the twin bombs at the marathon finish line.
Longtime Boston Garden troubadour Rene Rancourt took his place for the "Star-Spangled Banner." But he sang only the first few lines, allowing the crowd to carry the tune while he pumped his fist to keep time.
