We sing it before big events because we are Americans and we want to celebrate the fact that there is no other nation like ours. Why do we smile when we're happy or shout when we're angry? Because that is how we express what we're feeling, its our reaction to whats going on around us or within us. We sing to wish each other good luck, in the hopes that the Fates smile upon us, our friends, and our family. We hope for the future to be safe and filled with happiness, after all, we sing to show strong emotion, and in the case of the Star Spangled Banner we sing the pride of our country for the whole world to hear.
