喬治‧柯漢 (George M. Cohan) 於1878年7月3日出生了

你最喜歡的歌曲創作者可能拿過葛萊美獎 (Grammy) ，但是這個創作者有沒有拿過國會頒發的獎章呢？在1940年，國會頒發特別獎章給喬治‧柯漢，以表彰他創作「在那裡」 (Over There) 這首歌的功績。當美國決定加入第一次世界大戰時，柯漢以愛國的心態創作了這首歌曲。你有沒有聽過這首歌呢？如果沒有，你應該在學校裡聽過他創作的另外一首歌。

Your favorite songwriter may have won a Grammy, but what about a medal from Congress? In 1940, Congress awarded George M. Cohan a special medal for composing "Over There." Cohan wrote the song as a patriotic tribute when the U.S. entered World War I. Have you heard of it? If not, there's another song he wrote that you might sing at school.
