“God Bless America” by Irving Berlin (1938)
Agree, “God Bless America”, Kate Smith’s version, going back to WWII, is the standard. During the height of the Viet Nam War(demonstrations, riots, etc),1970, she came to a small bar/restaurant, by the courts, near NYC’s Chinatown that was always full of cops during lunch hour. She had heard that her song was played every day on the juke box. She came in, socialized and then sang the song. She was the ultimate patriot. A day I’ll never forget.
