Jordan Shelton of Arvada, Colo., was selected as the grand-prize winner of the Star-Spangled Banner YouTube Singing Contest sponsored by the National Museum of American History and USA Weekend. Jordan sang the national anthem on Flag Day (June 14, 2009) to a crowd of people including 28 young people who, just minutes before, became American citizens outside the Star-Spangled Banner exhibition.
