I was very disappointed that the "Dixie Chicks" one of my favorite singing groups has jumped on the "bash-America" bandwagon. That's too bad, I really loved their song "Travelin' Soldier."
Meanwhile I am looking for more pro-America music to enjoy. Here's a list of some of the songs I have been listening to. Please add to this list of pro-America songs and patriotic singers and musicians.
HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN--Darryl Worley
I downloaded this last night. It is an OK song, but not as good as:
WHERE WERE YOU--Alan Jackson
THIS AIN'T NO RAG--Charlie Daniels Band
NEVER DID THINK THAT IT EVER COULD HAPPEN AGAIN--Charlie Daniels Band
COURTESY OF THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE--Toby Keith
AMERICAN CHILD--Phil Vasser
PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN--Lee Greenwood
I'M ALREADY THERE--Lone Star
OK, I know this is not explicitly a pro-America song, but every time I listen to it, it makes me think of the men and women in our Armed Services.
Please add more!

I have a personal pet peeve regarding singers who mangle, screech and scream the national anthem--It makes me CRAZY! The above link that I posted is Josh Groban and it the the absolute best version of the national anthem that I have EVER heard. He has an incredible voice.
He is a newcomer and of course the Grammy's completely ignored him and honored the trashy music of today. This guy is a breath of fresh air--check him out--you won't be sorry!
I am wearing out his CD playing it over and over. I haven't been this impressed in a VERY long time.

I found this - these are the words - now where is the song?
I am the flag of the United States of America.
My name is Old Glory.
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over institutions of learning.
I stand guard with power in the world.
Look up and see me.
I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.
I stand for freedom.
I am confident.
I am arrogant.
I am proud.
When I am flown with my fellow banners,
My head is a little higher,
My colors a little truer.
I bow to no one!
I am recognized all over the world.
I am worshipped - I am saluted.
I am loved - I am revered.
I am respected - and I am feared.
I have fought in every battle
of every war
for more then 200 years.
I was flown at Valley Forge,
Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appamatox.
I was there at San Juan Hill,
the trenches of France,
in the Argonne Forest,
Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy.
Guam, Okinawa, Korea and
KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam know me.
I was there.
I led my troops, I was dirty, battleworn and tired,
But my soldiers cheered me and I was proud.
I have been burned, torn and trampled on the
streets of countries I have helped set free.
It does not hurt for I am invincible.
I have been soiled upon, burned, torn and
trampled in the streets of my country.
And when it's done by those
Whom I've served in battle - it hurts.
But I shall overcome - for I am strong.
I have slipped the bonds of Earth
and stood watch over the uncharted
frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon.
I have borne silent witness to all of America's finest hours.
But my finest hours are yet to come.
When I am torn into strips and used as bandages
for my wounded comrades on the battlefield,
When I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier,
Or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent
at the grave of their fallen son or daughter,
I am proud.
Please forward my message to all who still love
and respect me that I may fly proudly
for another two hundred years.
