Just hearing the opening words and notes to "America The Beautiful" is enough to drive patriotic Americans to tears. As part of our cultural lexicon, it has soundtracked so many inspiring moments. For a young pianist, the song was made into a stunning and lovely tribute to his elder Marine brother. Though he thought he was playing for his immediate family outside of his brother, he got a wonderful surprise when the song was over.

Sitting at the piano in the living room during a recital, the young man pulled off a beautiful rendition of the iconic tune. It's no wonder that it means so much to him. With his brother fighting overseas to defend our country, he clearly figured the least he could do to honor him would be to play such a lovely tune.

The power of music should never be forgotten, nor should the power of family. This heartfelt performance reminds us of just how much love can be shared between two people, no matter how much distance is between them.

As this boy grows up, we can only hope that he'll remember this moment forever.
