On Sunday I was in attendance when the Ravens took on the Jaguars at Wembley Stadium. There was a buzz in the air – the excitement of taking in a game on foreign soil and meeting Europeans from all over the continent who had a rooting interest in the game.
It was different than any game I’ve ever experienced and as I stood for the playing of our national anthem, with my hat proudly fixed atop my heart, I hung on every syllable sung beautifully by Noah Stewart. My eyes glistened with tears of joy, the byproduct of pride for my country and the many blessings bestowed upon me by so many others who enabled this unforgettable moment.
