WASHINGTON -- A woman who spontaneously started singing the Star Spangled Banner at a national monument in Washington caused all park visitors to stop in their tracks.

G. Star Swain posted a video to YouTube that shows her special moment at the Lincoln Memorial on June 16:

The video has already been seen by more than 12,000 people.
