I believe there was a Marine who managed to make it through a few rounds a couple of years ago. Does anyone know if he sang any patriotic songs and if so how were they received?

You must be referring to Josh Gracin, one of the finalists a few years ago. I don't know what he sang (I never watch the show), but I did meet him once when he sang the national anthem at a NASCAR event.

Josh Gracin, the marine, has had a couple hits since American Idol. Not sure how far he made it in the show, but he has apparently been well-received since.
