I thought Lee Greenwood wrote and recorded God Bless the USA in the 1960’s - 1970’s. It was during the war in Vietnam. ♥️🇺🇸♥️

This song has been a patriotic favorite in the US since Lee Greenwood released it in 1984. Lee, Home Free, and the military absolutely do this song justice in this version. By the way, the ‘castle’ in Nashville is Lee Greenwood’s home.

I believe the castle shown is actually the location of Castle Recording Studios located in Nashville TN. Although Lee Greenwood does live in Nashville with his wife, his home is large and beautiful but not the castle shown. There is a video online of his home with a tour by him and his wife of their home. Just search for Lee Greenwood's home.

If I’m correct, Home Free actually got all of these individuals together for this song. Lee Greenwood is the original singer of God Bless the USA, but Home Free has two members who live in Nashville, TN, where Lee Greenwood lives. Adam Chance lives in California , but he’s originally from Alabama, and the remaining two are from Minnesota. So three members are originally from the South with the remaining two from Minnesota. Home Free are a very patriotic vocal band who likes to collaborate with many different artists. They did this during COVID to bring the country together.

At a veteran's reunion, I had the pleasure to meet Mr. Greenwood. He sang this song. We were all standing , holding hands arms raised while tears streaming down our faces. He is a very nice gentleman. It was an honor to shake his hand.

This version was premiered on July 3rd, 2020 during the pandemic, hence the reason portions were recorded in Los Angeles, Minneapolis, & Nashville. They had to record remotely then it was all mixed later.

Your reaction is so very beautiful, priceless. Thank you for honoring our great country. Every day I thank God that I live in….The Land Of The Free, Because Of The Brave. I am so very proud to be an American, and so very thankful and blessed that I was fortunate enough to be born here. I am so very proud of the 14 Veterans in my family. My Dad, husband, son, brother, uncles and cousins. 24 hours a day, every day of the year, I fly two large American flags. One on my patio, one on my front porch. At night I have lights shining on them that illuminate their beauty, and what they stand for. Blessings and Love from the USA 🙏🇺🇸

Video trivia: The girl who sings the line about Tennessee is from Tennessee. Tim Foust, who sings the line about Texas, is from Texas. Rob Lundquist is from Minnesota and sang that line. Adam Chance, who sings the line “from sea to shining sea” was born in Florida and now lives in California. The military group is The Singing Sargents from the Air Force. I’m not a flag waving patriot, but this song gets me every time! More Americans probably know the lyrics to this than know the Star Spangled Banner lyrics.

Lovely reaction, Lee Greenwood was in his 70s when this was recorded, still has an impressively powerful voice and range.

Lee Greenwood wrote and sang this song decades ago. This version was collaborated with Home Free and a military choir. I don't know why the Fox News emblem was shown on this, it wasn't when originally released over a year ago. Your are right that political parties should not try to take credit for it. It is a beautiful patriotic song and should be enjoyed by all.

Fox News shared it, but neglected to mention that they nabbed it from Home Free's channel, choosing instead to promote the Airforce vocalists and the original songwriter. The reactor likely found it on Fox News' channel as opposed to Home Free's. To Andre, great reaction! It's nice to know you appreciate just how special this "during Covid" video truly is. I've always loved Lee Greenwood's original version, but the Air Force Singing Sergeants and Home Free just brought the song to a whole new level, and Lee even said that he was finally able to "play around" (not his words, I'm paraphrasing) with how he sang it.

Lee Greenwood is a naturally born Canadian and came to the USA many years ago.

If I’m correct, Home Free got all of these people together to sing this song. Lee Greenwood is the original singer of God Bless the USA. However, Home Free loves this version and collaborated with Lee Greenwood and the US Airforce Band to sing this song during COVID to bring the country together. Two members of Home Free live in Nashville, TN. Another, Adam Chance, lives in LA. And the remaining two live in Minnesota. I think they all did an excellent job!

As an American of Portuguese/Spanish ancestry.... I'm proud to be an American! Thank you for appreciating the best of our country! 🙏🏼

This is a collaboration between Home Free Lee Greenwood wrote the song and United States Air Force band! Some say this is America’s second national anthem!! This is done when they were still in isolation during Covid and filmed in different locations! Humphrey filmed this several years ago at Mount Rushmore in the United States by themselves… It was very powerful! Getting to see with Lee Greenwood was very special! He was about 78 when he sang this! It’s very interesting and Rob sings from the lakes of Minnesota… That is where he is from, and from Texas is Tim Foust! Home Fries producer arrange this song… We felt he had more room to add the lyric PLEASE BLESS THE USA! At the very end if you listen beatbox or Adam Rupp as a sound of jets flying over!! Humphrey has also song several patriotic songs… Land of the free”…”My country ‘tis of thee”. &. “Only in America!!

Thank you for playing this song, I cry every time I hear it. My Uncle volunteered to served in the Army in the Vietnam war, the tragic stories and loss of many good friends …. there are no words. My Dad also volunteered to served in the Military, and after an honorable discharged he volunteered again to serve in the reserves, my Brother, his son, as well as my cousin all volunteered to serve in the military. This is my country…..this is my flag…..my respect, and my love is unshakable, just as is my gratitude and respect for those who not only served, but paid the ultimate price as well.

When my son graduated from Army basic training, this was the song (originally sung by Lee Greenwood) the graduates sang as they were lining the walkways and entering the stage. That graduation ceremony had over 100 men and women graduating. The sound of them all singing and marching was the most incredible sound I have ever heard!

Have loved this song from the day Lee Greenwood released it. Not only is it incredibly patriotic it is also incredibly beautiful. This version is amazing. Home Free is the best.

Love the original song. This is the first time I've heard this version, but it brings tears to my eyes everytime.

Every year we have a county fair. There's music and fried food and 4-H animal judging and a carnival. Thousands of people are there. When this song comes on, usually before the fireworks, everyone stops what they're doing and sings. Everyone knows every word. It's fantastic.

Lee Greenwood (first singer) wrote the song and made it a hit in the 80’s. They are doing this during Covid with the US Air Force Singing Sergeants and Home Free. Home Free did a version earlier without Lee Greenwood or the band and they did it at Mt. Rushmore in S. Dakota. This is great! Lee still sounds great at 75! Love it! 🤩😄

This song always makes me proud to be an American ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This is one of the most cherished songs in America since it came out in the 80’s

This was during lockdown. They recorded in several places and then they sent it to be mixed and mastered to Darren Rust to put it all together. Home agree did a lot of recording from their individual homes and put out new songs every other Friday to keep everybody’s spirits up! Don’t know what I would have down without all this beautiful music they put out. They are awesome people and wonderfully gifted artists! Lee Greenwood wrote this song many years ago. This song has become a very popular song to show our love for our country! Gives me chills every time I hear it. Love hearing Adam’s Jet sounds at the end of the song!

the first singer wrote the song the remaining singers are US Soldiers from HOME FREE.... it is amazing with him alone and with this group... speaks to everyone

You feel and are drawn to the American Patriotism in music. I want to say that in a way, our military is also part of your military. The US supports their allies and will be there shoulder to shoulder with your soldiers if you are facing aggression. It is a very real thing that the US is the reason many smaller countries remain free in their own country. My family immigrated to the US from Denmark. The Danes actually celebtate the 4th of July, American Independence day. They know that they could never stand up to countries like Russia or even Germany in WW2 without the United States. I am so glad that there are people around the world starting to understand Americans and who we are. We are welcoming people and we truly love our country and what it stands for. Forget the current squabbling amoung our politicians. Frankly, we need a bit of house cleaning there and have age requirements for all parts of the government. Enough of the politics. They change every 4 years. What doesn't change is our love and pride for and of our country.

I am 52yrs old and I am a Desert Shield Desert Storm vet and when this song plays, no matter what version my mom and i have to pull over in the car. I turned 19 on my way over scared and death, and my mom was at home equally as scared, but this song "all versions " will stand the tests of time!

This is a bunch of soldiers all singing the song from different military towns across the United States. All their voices were combined into one rendition of the song by Lee Greenwood. This song was extremely powerful for me after 9/11. It still brings me to tears, feeling those same feelings from 9/11 again.

This song has been held deep in my heart since I was a child singing it in a 4th of July pageant. Lovely version!!

The soldiers are from the US Air Force Band. They have an amazing youtube channel and you should take a look at that. Both the instrumental and vocals are amazing.

Andre, you keep stating how much you love listening to Rob sing.....he is the big teddy bear Home Free. You have to check out his video where he and Austin (the red head Home Free singer) and he does opera Nessun Dorma. You will come un-hinged at the beauty of his voice. Simply search Home Free Nessun Dorma and you will find the video. You owe it to yourself to watch and listen to it.

Lees original version was emotional enough and then they redo it with soldiers singing too. I’m so very proud to be an American every day of my Life!

It’s your channel and I think you should do what you like. Country works for me! 🤗

Yes, acapella with Home Free. Two Home Free members live in Minneapolis, one in Los Angeles, Two plus Lee Greenwood live in Nashville. The most beautiful rendition of Lee Greenwood’s song ever.

As an American this is how I feel about my country. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. I will fight for that till I die. Proud patriot.

Yes, you got it! This is Home Free's lockdown production of Lee Greenwood's original iconic song. The title of the video is not quite correct. The military chorus is fantastic, too! The glimpse of the producer in the Minneapolis studio is of Darren Rust, Home Free's "6th member". Greenwood's voice is just as great as when he recorded this years ago. Home Free also has another video of this, without the collaborations. It's doubly amazing when you realize that the only "orchestra" is HF, and the only drums are Adam Rupp. I consider it a second national anthem, and a much better melody. Great reaction! You should give the credits to Home Free and Lee Greenwood. I recommend you do Home Free's original "Land of the Free".

Your reactions are genuine and uplifting, my friend, and very much appreciated. I love that you've begun with country genre and Home Free (who do many styles). It would be interesting to see you venture into Elvis. I grew up with his music but had no awareness of a song from his '68 come back special entitled' If I Can Dream' until a few years ago. Perhaps it will move you as it did for me. It speaks eloquently to racial divide that impacted the US for so many years.

My husband was a veteran and he passed away a year ago. He was so proud to have served his country and loved America. He also loved this song

Makes me so proud and cry every time.

And this song became so very much more popular when 9/11 happened... There were even people rolling down their car windows to sing it as they were driving up and down the highways!!

Back in the mid 1980s, my husband and I lived in Nashville. There was an amusement (aka theme) park there called Opryland USA dedicated to country music. There were shows and rides there (so much fun). One of the shows always included Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA song”, and every time that song was sang, all the audience would automatically stand up to listen to it and cross their hand over their heart. Such a nice patriotic feeling!!

Lee Greenwood originally sung this song by himself, this is one of our songs Americans know by heart. Being from the USA we honor are soldiers. Thank You for listening to one of are patriotic songs. A grandma from Kansas !!

When I was a high school student and college student we would travel with our church youth choir to Camp Pendleton and the Naval Training Center in San Diego to do concerts for the troops church services and out in the field. At NTC they would end the service singing this song, and I will never forget seeing the 2000 naval recruits putting their arms around each others shoulders and singing this with the Lee Greenwood recording. I think of it every time I hear this song, and am so grateful for our troops and our country.

I love your reaction! I'm American and I cried when I heard this version. Much love and respect to you!❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸

Lee did it originally, I don't care who got who to get it, om just glad they got our Air Force folks to sing with them! It shows our Armed Forces singing with Patriotic Civilians ! In '87 when I was in bootcamp, they played this song at Church. We sang along and I got choked up every time. It made me realize how BLESSED BY GOD we are to be Americans.

As an American, born and raised, this song never fails to make me cry with pride. The ones that came before us, sacrifice, may leave a garden they may never see grow. That is why we hold the flag in such high regard, even to not let it touch the ground. Many died for our freedom, so we may sleep peacefully at night, and live our dreams. Never forget those that died to give us this right.

This is such an amazing song. Lee Greenwood asked Home Free and the military singers to do this together. So very awesome! Love your reaction! ♥

Lee Greenwood is the original artist, who released this song back in 1984. Of course you know who Home Free is and they've done a lot of this type of thing where they pair up with the original artists and do a revised version. This "cover" of the song was done during COVID and hence the multiple locations. Since this was being released for our 4th of July, they wanted to include the Air Force singers to make it extra special

I cry every time I hear this song. My Dad, FIL, and many family members are military and we are so proud of their service to our country. But this song epitomizes the American spirit ; not only a song but a prayer ❤

Lee Greenwood wrote and recorded this in 1984. Yes, this is Home Free singing with Lee Greenwood and the Air Force band. Wonderful rendition.

This video was so well directed and thank goodness, produced for all to listen to and watch. This is a Lee Greenwood song but to add all the other layers, unique voices, and talented performers to the end product just made this song more of a legend than it already was.

This is a favorite of mine, and I enjoy listening to it no matter who is reacting. It’s a good feeling to know that you have the same feelings about this song as we do. Thank you for your heart-felt appreciation.

I love that Lee redid this song with American soldiers. INCREDIBLE!

God bless America. I love this land. I have family members who are veterans and I am a widow of a Marine.

I appreciate your reactions. You show your emotions. It's beautiful to watch your vlog. This is an old song. Lee greenwood is amazing.

As many have said...this was actually "Home Free ft. Lee Greenwood and the Singing Sergeants - God Bless the USA". Shot during covid, hence the locations and put together in post. It indeed is Home Free.

I believe this is the first time I came across your Andre Reacts. I usually watch your European Reacts. I remember this Lee Greenwood song after the 9/11 attacks (it was released years before that). Still today, I get a chill every time I hear this song. It has so much meaning and I wish more Americans will listen to it and get the feel of Patriotism and not just when our Country has been through something horrible. We have so many Americans divided and have hate because of racism, politics, economy, immigration, etc... Every one of us that speaks about their negatives of each other and Country, it was because the people who fought, permanently injured and died for America for our rights and freedoms that many other Countries cannot express. I remember listening to your video of the meaning of the Star-Spangled Banner, American anthem by Francis Scott Key. I have a better understanding what was written. I get chills with hearing and singing that song as I do with God Bless the USA due to what our fellow Americans and their families gave for us to have an America. Unfortunately, with too much freedom, some take advantage of it that pains the citizens and parts of America what it has become. I believe Lee Greenwood is considered a country singer. I usually did not listen to country/western songs unless it went to the pop charts and on the radio. My husband was a country music fan, but I did not pay much attention to it. The ones I like, he did not care for. He was into the older country singers that did not need of the hype, loud productions to win the audience over. After he passed away, I started listening to the KZread reactions, I got a new set of ears (or maybe I am older now and mellow) and I appreciate country music more and I wish I found that out before my husband passed away so we could have listened to it together. I enjoy the words, meaning, storytelling and how heartfelt it is. And some are on the funny side too.

Mr.Greenwood sounds so good singing lead in this song. Years ago, there were times i heard he was playing a concert nearby, but i never went to one. I clearly missed a great opportunity.

I really love your reactions. It's wonderful to see people enjoying a lot of different music for the first time.
