I run a September 11th Memorial every year at Bedford Park (our local park) in Brooklyn. This CD contains so many songs that we can use this year! I look forward to playing it at this year's memorial.

moron.

Capitol was out trying to make money, so they rounded up a bunch of songs from their vast vaults, to pull at the heartstrings of the customers. I'm pretty sure John came to love America, considering he chose to live here, and raise his kids here. He may not have agreed with the governement, but doesn't mean that he hated america.

Nothing outstanding but its a nice collection of music from various artists. Not necessarily the best or most patrotic songs but solid performances from George Throrgood, Lee Greenwood, John Lennon and others.

People shouldn't rate the CD based on a song that was released with the permission of an artist or their representatives either. Save it for an message board or a letter to the prodcuer of the CD, or the folks who control John Lennon's rights. Probably Yoko Ono.

With two anti-war songs (Imagine and 4th of July) the compilers of this CD demonstrate they have aboslutely no clue what they're doing. The could have put Lennon's "New York City" and any number of songs by the Beach Boys on here to illustrate patriotism or solidarity for the victims of NYC. Instead they simply shame themselves and the buyer.

Obviously, the ... of this CD doesn't remember Lennon or the views he was expressing in the song, Imagine. I was amazed it was used on the TV tribute and am even more amazed it is on this CD. He was against war of any kind for any reason. He was also against government/country. Listen to the WORDS people!

john lennon would not have wanted his song on the album. the song itself is against the existence of america or any other country for that matter. it is also against war, including the one this cd is attempting to support. this is disrespectful to john and his memory. it's actually quite funny to think that he was patriotic considering that he was british to begin with. quite frankly, i think the makers of this cd should be ashamed for using lennon's song to support this cause.
