Playing The Star-Spangled Banner With A Gun
This may be the most patriotic thing ever!
When thinking of America there are two things that may come to mind, patriotism and guns. This video is the perfect mix of the two, and one no one gets hurt.
Musical Targets is a “source for armoury harmony” – a place where gun enthusiasts in Colorado can shoot and make music at the same time.
Here, the folks at Musical Targets show off their aural and rifle skills by playing the tune for the US national anthem, the Star-Spangled Banner.
US Marines VS South Korean Army Drum Battle
The III US Marine Expeditionary Force Band took on the Republic of Korea Army Band in an epic drum off. In the end, it’s declared a tie but I think it’s safe to say that the Marines won.
Oorah!
American troops have been stationed in South Korea since the end of the Korean War. Technically, the North and South are still at war, but neither have broken the cease for decades besides for a few small skirmishes. Both sides are afraid to reawaken all out war, yet refuse to lower their poker face. As a result, American troops are still stationed in South Korea today for training, moral support, and as a sign of strength.
So what do American Marines do in South Korea? They have drum battles with their Korean comrades of course!

God Bless America!
