and adopting another piece? >> it's just so tough to sing. i mean, for the average person. >> the war of 1812 was tough and we didn't give up on. building the transcontinental railroad was tough and we didn't give up on that. going to the moon was tough, and we didn't shy from that. and the civil rights movement was tough and we didn't shy away from that. so just because it's tough, when have we americans ever shied away from something because it was tough? >> i retract the question. [ laughter ] i think we should make it harder. >> the original star spangled banner is in the smithsonian but there is a replica here at the fort and vince's passion has inspired in me a burning desire to raise the same size flag that inspired our national anthem. >> you want to raise the big flag? >> i want to raise the big flag. >> he wants to raise the big flag. >> you have to raise the big flag. >> and from what i hear, it is a big-ass flag. >> we are flying a 17 by 25 and the huge one is 35 by 42.
