Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS or the Star Spangled Banner : )

this song fic is my first tell me what you think

The team was shocked to see Abby crying as the entered the lab "Whats wrong Abs?" they asked. " nothing it's just this song. listen."

" Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof thro' the night that are flag was still there.

O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave,

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of th deep,

Where the foes haughty host in dread silence reposes,

What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,

As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,

In full glory reflecte, now shines on the stream:

'T is the star-spangled banne: O, long may it wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where that band who so vauntingly swore

That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion

A home and country should leave us no more?

Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps pollution.

No refuge could save the hireling and slave

From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:

And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,

Between their lov'd homes and the wars desolation;

Blest with vict'ry and peace, may heav'n-rescued land

Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us as a nation!

Then conquer we must, when are cause is just,

And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

(By Francis Scott Key)

At the end of the song they were all crying. Even Gibbs

well what did you think?
