In the weeks before Christmas, the police in the state of Arkansas, USA, for the thirteenth year in a row, had organized a special event in a local grocery store. „Shop with a cop“ has over the years become hugely popular with children, and this year was no exception.
The police take the opportunity to spread some Christmas spirit in the community, and all the children receive a small Christmas gift in the form of a gift card to buy something for themselves and their family.
But during this year’s event, it was something else that became the big success. 11-year-old Annie Zimmerman completely stole the show when, in front of a packed store, she grabbed the microphone and performed her version of the US national anthem.
