While Victor Fiorillo went out for a drink at night, he decided to go to the Old Philadelphia Bar in the City of Brotherly Love. He
wanted a beer and some good company, but when he saw the sign etched on the window, it gave him pause. Nevertheless, he
went inside and voted with his dollars by buying a beer, and that’s when a man spoke up so the whole bar could hear him.
The man was walking over to the jukebox. But before he put the coin into the machine to get music on the speakers, he declared
that he was a former firefighter and that he was a Mexican. Then he laughed and said that the last part was “just a joke.” He
then paid for the music and picked the 1984 song by Lee Greenwood, “God Bless the USA.” As the song started up and the
chorus roared through the bar’s speakers, every patron in the place started to sing along.
