National Anthem
Samantha Zaitman will be singing the National Anthem at the Village's Fourth of July Celebration. She's thrilled to have been invited once again to sing. Samantha is a twelve year old who has been singing all of her life. She has been an active participant at her middle school in various drama musicals. Samantha has had the privilege to be invited to the Junior Thespian competition two years in a row. She has performed at the Doral Opera where she sang Hallelujah, one of her most cherished songs. She has been "singing around town" is what a friend of ours says! Relay for Life is an event that she has sang the National Anthem as well and will always be very special for her. She's sang for Relay a few years now and will continue to always. Another unforgettable experience for her has been last years invitation to sing the National Anthem at the Homestead Air Force Base for the airshow that took place. It was such an amazing time for her. She sang the National Anthem both days Saturday and Sunday. What she enjoyed most about singing in this incredible event showcasing our talented and dedicated airmen was the fact that as she sang our National Anthem, a parachute team member (Golden Knight) was coming down from the sky where he had jumped from an airplane carrying our American flag and landed at the same time she finished the last verse of our song! That was just incredible! And she did it both days with equal precision. She was congratulated by all of the Golden Knights that were there and the team captain took off one of his stars and gave it to her. To this day she talks about that day. Singing has brought so many great opportunities to meet incredible people that do incredible things but also people behind the scenes that are also very special. Samantha is forever honored to sing the National Anthem!
