      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.

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.

It was recorded during the pandemic so everyone was spread all over the states. Lee said it's his favorite version because he was able to sing it the way he wanted to instead of the original recorded version. BTW Home Free is an acapela band and this was also done without instrumentation - just the human voice, including the drums performed acapela by Adam Rupp their beatboxer extraordinaire.

    When the original version of this song came out in '84, we had been underway for several months and hadn't heard any recent music in quite a while. We had just finished our final refueling before coming home and was breaking away, when the other ship started playing this song over the loud speakers. Our captain stopped the break away so we could finish listening to it. By the time it ended, we all had tears on our cheeks and fists in the air. You could hear our war cry ten miles away! Hadn't been home for ten months, but we were all ready to turn around and go back to the Gulf. I can't listen to it without remembering that day.

    Recky and Carol you both really understand who we are and what we stand for. You can be honorary Americans. If we all ook the time you have to understand another country and culture, just imagine what the world would be like. I love you guys. By the way Carol, you are adorable. Especially when you smile and laugh. You make a great couple.

    Lee had a big hit with this way back in 1984. Most of the patriotic songs we learn in school were written in the 19th century. This joins the canon of great patriotic American songs. President Trump always begins his rallies by having this song played before he comes on stage, and on occasion has had Lee Greenwood perform it Live.

    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 had the privilege to hear Lee Greenwood sing this song at Harbor Fest Festival In Norfolk, Virginia years ago. 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 song hits me differently because my Company Commander HT1 Mayfield played this song during one of our rifle drills in Navy boot camp in 1985. Tears welled up in his eyes, showing me and the other recruits that he had a soft side behind his tough persona. I also remember when my ship blasted it from the loudspeakers when we returned from the Persian Gulf in 1987. Our families could hear it on the pier!😊😊
