Today is Flag Day, and in honor of our beautiful flag and country, I thought I would share this video. I was watching the NBA Finals last week, and heard this 7-year-old sing the anthem, and yes, I had tears in my eyes. Her name is Gina Marie Incandela and she was diagnosed with an autistic disorder at the age of 2. She couldn't (or wouldn't) speak, so her parents put her in vocal classes, hoping that would help. It wasn't until after the age of 3 when she began to speak, and she now sings the National Anthem across the country (I think she even sang at an Astros game once). I happened to see her on the pregame of the Finals Game 3, and thought she and her parents are pretty incredible. Enjoy, and happy Flag Day!
About Me

- What can I say? Those who know me don't need to read this. You already know me. But for the rest of you... I love sports (football is my fav), I'm a workaholic, and I've learned that life is too short. I love my family and friends. They are my life. I love sunsets and July 4th, parades and rainbows, the beach and the boat. It doesn't take much to make me happy. I'm not from Texas, but I can't imagine living anywhere else. I love my flip flops. I'd wear them every day if I could. I love, love, LOVE the water. It's so much better going to dinner by boat. I'm a news junkie, thanks in large part to the internet (what did we do without it when we were in school?), and because that's my job.
