Even before the U.S. National Women's soccer team's match with Mexico kicked off on eroticism batalleSunday, the crowd at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey was brought to its feet by Pete DuPré, a 96-year-old World War II vet and his pregame harmonica performance of the national anthem.
While the crowd began the anthem in relative silence, they started sing along about halfway through before roaring as DuPré brought the anthem to a close.

DuPré served as a medic during World War II and his parents were both part of the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War I. He also already had a pretty sterling reputation for his harmonica performance even before Sunday's nationally televised performance. Known as "Harmonica Pete," DuPré has performed the anthem for a variety of sporting events and ceremonies over the years.
He also has a special relationship with the USWNT as the team met him and other veterans on a visit to Normandy, France back in January ahead of a friendly match against France's team.
