      My daddy fought in WW2 with the USAAF, before the Air Force was formed. And my son gave 21 years to the United States Marine Corps, fighting in Iraq. My Country means the world to me, and those who tear her down break my heart. This song always makes me cry; so emotional. I knew you'd like it.❤🇺🇸

      I think that is where the enemy underestimates us. They are use to citizens that kneel to their rules and just except whatever their government tells them to do, so they may think they can come here and do the same to us, BUT...if they ever hit this soil, they won't have just our military to defeat (which in itself will be a very difficult undertaking) but they will have a vast majority or armed civilians to defeat as well who will be out there backing up our military.

    I was stationed in Germany when the Gulf War started. 3 months later we got deployment orders for Operation Desert Storm. We had just cleared out processing and all the medical and legal stuff and we were on a German charter bus on the tarmac at Rhein-Main going to the plane. God Bless The USA came on the radio and a LOUD bus got instantly quiet. The driver stopped and shut off the engine while Lee Greenwood sang his heart out. This song has special meaning to me and all the other great soldiers on that bus.

Norfolk is home to the world’s largest Naval Base and a lot of military personnel and their families were in attendance and EVERYONE was singing along with him. It was a sight to behold for sure. Our country is not without it’s faults and we do have more than our fair share of loud mouths but I know the majority of us are hardworking good folks who would give the shirt off their backs to help someone in need. We are only strong when we work together for the GOOD of mankind.

    This is already such an iconic song, this came out years ago & is still as relevant today! Also, shout out to the military band, the beatboxer is next level & Lee Greenwood, he must be in his 80s & he still looks amazing as well as his singing! This song will always be as good as when it 1st came out! 🇺🇸 ❤️ Thanks for the reaction!

    We get so caught up in the noise (politics & news telling us how bad things are) that we forget.... We are Americans, and we are blessed by those who died for our freedom to be here and to be free!

    I remember the first time I heard this song. I had already been in the Air Force for 11 years and had just gotten assigned to the 3rd Combat Communications Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. We had our monthly Commander's Call at the base theater. At the end, they always played an Air Force Now film, and this song was highlighted. Let's just say that patriotism exploded in that theater. I retired from the Air Force in 1992, and this will always be a great memory. From Missouri to Sweden, God bless you both, and God bless the USA.

    I remember when "Country and Western" was the genre of the day.
    I still remember warching Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton in their frilled outfits resembling fancy cowboys.

    I think Lee Greenwood's only other big hit was "Miami, My Amy". But, his voice has always been (and still is) absolutely wonderful! The different groups' ability to blend is part technician-induced but also trained. It was wonderful to hear a piece of music where people were singing and not oversinging one another! Absolutely loved this!
