      Lava1964 I live in a subdivision of about 70 homes. Old Glory flies from 80% of them. From my driveway to the “main” road, it’s about 1.5 miles, and I can count several dozens of flags. Twitter is not real life, the vast majority of Americans love this country (and yours, btw, we’d die to defend you), love our flag, our service members, and our ideals. We’re not perfect, but we’re not evil, despite what our media would lead you to believe.

      Am not american but when i heared it during Trump's innaguration, i had goose bumps singing along.
      I felt the pride each american i think should felt. I was teary eyed seeng Trump sang the chorus in the video.

      I know this is an old comment, but I felt I should comment. While I have nothing but respect for these soldiers and the flag the defend and truly adore this country, if I were to dislike this video (Which I am not considering) it would be because of Lee Greenwood. I do not know who he is other than a singer (and that only from context of him singing in this video) but I find him to be a poor singer at best. I did not enjoy his portion of the performance. He was very much outclassed by the men around him in that regard.

      I'm a professional lyric soprano and I agree with you. Lee is a tenor and has chosen to use his voice for country and pop music, which is great. Most professional singers would never do an impromptu session with a group of singers, no matter who they were. They would be so concerned about the right key for their voice, etc. But, he's very brave. The key was slightly too high, even for his voice. Probably should have been B-flat major, but, he pulled it off! I admire him very much. OUR ARMY CHORUS...G O R G E O U S! I love this COUNTRY! Go USA!
