Wow. I'm impressed. [View all]

I was watching the live fireworks from Washington DC on CNN. The United States Air Force Band played America the Beautiful and the vocalist was out of this world. He did a very soulful rendition. BUT....
that's not why I was impressed, or why I'm starting this thread.

At the end of the song, when the lyrics are and crown the good(?) with brotherhood from sea to shining sea, he quickly inserted "and sisterhood". Whoa! Good for him, but what will Hegseth say?
