The US Air Force Band and Lee Greenwood join the patriotic a cappella group from Home Free as they perform “God Bless the USA.”
“God Bless The USA” was originally published by Lee Greenwood in 1984. After Korean Air Lines Flight 007 was shot down, Lee, who had always been inspired to write a patriotic song, believed it was time to unite the nation.

The song did well at first on the country charts, but its major breakthrough came after the September 11 attacks.

“I am glad to be an American since I am aware of my freedom, and I will always remember the men who granted me that privilege.”
