Apologies for the patriotic posts. Sometimes a guy has to do what he does!
I used to think Lee Greenwood was kind of a hack. Then about a year ago I caught an interview with him on NPR. He was talking about how he started out in burlesque clubs. He had a great sense of humor & was quite humble. I became a fan.
Sure, if I was deployed and he came to sing it, I'd stand up and watch all the people with tears in their eyes.
But I hate that song.

God bless you brother. No hate here. ;) We can talk later.
I love this song and it comes with a great memory for me.
On the 4th of July after 9-11,we were watching fireworks from the lawn of a neighborhood Church. A bunch of neighbors were there. All of a sudden my kids started start signing this song and everybody joined in!
It was wonderful to see united Americans.
