Customers at the Liberty Street Diner don't sing for their supper. They sing for their country.
Every day at noon, customers join waitress Judy Hawkins in a sing-along with a local radio station's broadcast of "The Star Spangled Banner".
Hawkins said she started singing the national anthem several months ago and it's now a daily ritual.
"We just think it's good to honor ("The Star Spangled Banner"). The public enjoys it. They stop eating and join in."
Hawkins said she and her co-workers like to have fun, but singing the national anthem is no joke.
"We take "The Star Spangled Banner" very seriously," she said.
It's nice to see that there are still patriotic people...Happy 4th...
