What other genre of music celebrates traditional American activities and the men and women of the Armed Forces that help protect that way of life? What other genre of music celebrates and mourns those who die in that cause?
Some of my favorite country-western tunes:
God, Please Protect America--Jimmy Osborne (1950)
The Fiery Bear--Tex Ritter (1950)
They Locked God Outside the Iron Curtain--Wesley Tuttle (1952)
Advice to Joe [Stalin--that he risks nuclear war if he messes with the US]--Ray Acuff (1950)
When They Drop the Atomic Bomb--Jackie doll & His Pickled Peppers (1951)
