My absolute, all-time favorite patriotic song, by Lee Greenwood.
If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there’s pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
God Bless the USA!

I left the title out of my link…I’m sharing a Homemade Strawberry Jam, a family tradition started by my 95 year old grandma. A finer thing worth celebrating!
Greenwood’s song always evokes tears…we are incredibly blessed to live in the USA. Another finer thing…thanks, Amy.
Oh yeah, this is one of the BEST!! I should have included it in my list. Next year!
I’m not even American and I love that song. I’m an American at heart, even though my birth certificate and passport read “Canadian”
Have a great celebration of your country’s bday!
I love this song and cry almost every time I hear it.
My husband cries everytime he hears that song! Have a great holiday!
