THIS SONG SHOULD BE PLAYED MORE OFTEN TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE THOUSANDS OF MAN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE/AND ARE STILL SERVING IN THE ARMED FORCES AND FOR THOSE WHO GAVE THERE LIVES IN DEFENSE OF THIS COUNTRY TO SAY THANK YOU AND THAT WE SUPPORT YOU 150%

Lee Greenwood - God Bless The U.S.A.

If tomorrow all the things were gone
I worked for all my life
And I had to start again
With just my children and my wife

Thank my lucky stars
To be living here today
Cause the flag still stands for freedom
And they can't take that away

Chorus:
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

From the lakes of Minnesota
To the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas
From sea to shining sea

From Detroit down to Houston
And New York to L.A.
There's pride in every American heart
And it's time we stand and say...

That I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

I applaud the many radio-stations that have created montages using this and other patriotic compositions as well as radio stations of ALL FORMATS; Rock, Rap, Pop, Blues, Jazz, not just country stations which are playing Mr Greenwoods song, "God Bless the USA", in it's entirety. This song could hardly be considered "trite" (as one previous reviewer so sadly remarked) and this emotion in Lee Greenwoods performance of this song in particular brings a tear to many American's eyes, especially in the light of the recent traqedy.

Thank you Lee Greenwood, for creating a TIMELESS song about American Patriotism that we can all understand and identify with. Thank you for writing a song that has helped bring many Americans TOGETHER in demonstrating the PRIDE, Dedication and Resilience of the people of the USA.

Today we are all AMERICANS...

This is a good album with a nice patriotic song, if you like this I also recommend his album American Patriot which is even better it also has The song God Bless the USA and many other great patriotic songs!

The previous person didn't like this...said it was cliched....so what, I love this country & this song & it has come to mean more to me over the past week than ever before....keep this song alive in your hearts & be proud to live in this country when you hear it. GOD BLESS THE USA!!

My husband is a Naval Officer who is actively serving this great country. The gentleman from Portland is entitled to his opinion regarding this song, that is his right, a right that my husband defends. This song has played while my husbands ship has pulled out of port for the Persian Gulf, it's played during commisioning of great ships and honoring great men. It is understood and praised by military families who's "daddy's" and "mommies" are deployed for half of their childrens lives.
But this is an honor and a choice that our families have chosen as difficult as it is.
This song is a reminder of that honor and freedom, and why they are out in the gulf and Afghanastan , which we should not forget. They are fighting to keep your families safe,while our families pray that they are.

Lee Greenwood's compact disc God Bless The U.S.A. is wonderful, the best song is God Bless The U.S.A. it has always been a powerful and moving song ever since he recorded it during the Gulf War but now with what happened on 9-11-01 it is even more powerful and meaningful!

I am curious as to how "music fan from North Carolina" feels about this song now since his/her review was done in May 2001.
This song has always brought a tear to my eye, even more so now then before

This song is all of what America stands. A Baltimore County Police Sergeant, Brothro,(not sure if spelled right)died in the line of duty. WPOC played this song in remembrance of him and it made me cry. This song never made me cry it only gave me chills. But when it refered to someone you just weep. Everyone should have a copy of this CD. they should play it much more on radio.

This is an all American Song,it stands for so much.
Always Remember those we have lost during Wars and
those we have lost in this past two weeks of tragedy!
Alot of People lost there lives just so we can have the
Feedom and Libety that we do in this great nation of
ours. So PLEASE Stand Up and BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN
where we can stand FREE!
