God Bless the USA By: Lee Greenwood

If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life, And I had to start again with just my children and my wife, I'd thank my lucky stars to be living here today, 'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away.

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 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:

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 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'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 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.

When I was at Incirlik (sp?)AFB, in Turkey, this song was played at the Wagon Wheel every night at closing. I was a weapons loader then and the crazy airmen would all hug each other and tell each other.."I love ya, Man", It brings back some good memories. Now I am in the AF reserves as a medic, both AFSC have good and bad points. Thanks for the memory.....

Yes. Even though politicians have made a disasterous mess of things, the U.S.A. is still the best place to live.
God Bless the Armed Forces. Thank you for your devotion to service. We are forever indebted...
