This is a video of the members of the American Legion Auxiliary gathering on the steps of the Lincoln memorial to sing various patriotic American songs. The variety of songs sung in this video demonstrates the extent of patriotism in the USA; they have so many well-known patriotic songs, in contrast to the UK where we have only a couple of songs, of which most people only know a few lines - including the national anthem.
The fact that these people are able to gather at this very public location and express their patriotism is an example of the power of free speech and demonstrates the strong values held by Americans.
