1. God Bless The USA-Lee Greenwood, 1992

2. Only In America-Brooks And Dunn, 2001

Only in America / Where we dream in red, white and blue / Only in America / Where we dream as big as we want to…

3. In America-Charlie Daniels Band, 1980

We’ll all stick together, and you can take that to the bank / That’s the cowboys and the hippies, Rebels and the Yanks…

4. Courtesy Of The Red White And Blue-Toby Keith, 2002

Man, it’s gonna be hell/ When you hear Mother Freedom/ Start ringin’ her bell/ And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you/ Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue…

5. Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning-Alan Jackson, 2002

I’m just a singer of simple songs/ I’m not a real political man…But I know Jesus and I talk to God/ And I remember this from when I was young/ Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us/ And the greatest is love…

And one more because I love this song so much and there are too many great patriotic country songs to pick just a handful. The list could go on and on…that’s what I love about country music, the heart, soul and American pride of it all!

*Independence Day-Martina McBride, 1993

Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing / Let the whole world know that today / Is a day of reckoning. / Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong…

Happy Memorial Day! Enjoy your day with family and friends and don’t forget to thank a veteran and those in active duty today!
