“It was so emotionally stirring that people wanted to keep it going,” Wayne Messmer said.
The custom gained national fame several years later when the 1991 All-Star Game was played in Chicago on Jan. 19, three days after President George H. W. Bush announced the attacks that began the Persian Gulf war.
When Messmer sang that day, cameras panned across the crowd capturing American and Canadian flags and inspirational messages to the troops. The noise was deafening.
Frank Pellico, the organist who has accompanied the anthem since 1991, said, “I was playing the organ two feet from Wayne, but couldn’t hear him.”
Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. was so taken with the show of patriotism that he had a copy of the tape shown to soldiers overseas during the war.
