I find it extremely difficult and frustrating to talk to workers that do not know English. I feel that it must be the law that if you work in the USA you must speak English. When I travel I respect the language of the country I'm visiting. I do not expect any country to change or add my language to the language spoken in that country. I have never ever herd any other countries National Anthem sung in any other language then the language of the country it's from. I feel very, very strongly that our National Anthem must be sung is English only.   Jersey Boy Citizen Username: Jersey_boy Post Number: 618 Registered: 1-2006 Posted on Sunday, April 30, 2006 - 2:31 am:        Debra, Who wants to sing the national anthem in another language?

I think Debra is referring to the Spanish version of our National Anthem. That version was recently produced, was in the news this week, and is different than the English version. I'm in favor of keeping our National Anthem in English, I agree with Debra. A NATIONAL Anthem means NATIONAL.   Monster© Supporter Username: Monster Post Number: 2935 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Sunday, April 30, 2006 - 9:46 am:        There is a thread on this over in the soapbox
