Here is the more complete speech by Charlton Heston which he ends with "From my cold dead hands." I like to think we at YAL are a part of "Freedom's vanguard" as he says:
As we enter election year 2010, let's begin the same way all public gatherings commence: with the singing of "America the Beautiful."
I'm not going to describe and define the song "America the Beautiful." Instead, let me just share with you a nice rendition of the performance version as well as the lyrics of the entire song.
