Martina McBride's pay per view special in Oct. 2001. One month after 9/11, that's why there is such a patriotic feel to this performance.

if her singing this doesn't give you goosebumps ....your all dead inside. Oh that voice.... Martina your INCREDIBLE....

Hello beautiful how are you doing today 🤗

When I need a lift I listen to this song. Martina knocks this one out of the park.

This song & message has never been more relevant or necessary then today. 13 yrs after this recording! Who is listening in 2022? We need to STAND TOGETHER & TAKE BACK our pure human given rights. No matter race, creed, geography or beliefs. More love to ourselves & each other! "Let the guilty PAY!!" "Let the weak be STRONG!"🙏 May God bless everyone reading this, you are worthy, loved, blessed & bountiful! Let's take back our independence globally. We are powerful together. Love & light. God speed you lovely humans💗

I miss this America. When we were all United. I grew up in a very liberal household, but absolutely adore country music and artists like Martina! I love visiting the south and being around the folks over there. Politically I consider myself independent. I agree with some liberal values and some conservative values. I wish people could just chill TF out and not be butthurt over every small thing.

I used to hear Independence Day on Hannity and always thought the singer had a remarkable voice. Didn't know who she was then. Years later when I found out it was Martina I was totally hooked on her. Greatest singer I've ever heard, and totally beautiful in looks and personality. Independence Day always gives me goosebumps listening to it.

I get goose bumps also when I hear this song but then the tears start falling especially now with the way our country is being destroyed and our freedoms are being taken away one by one. I know this song is about abuse of women and I had no intentions of bringing up about what's happening now but a lot of the words in that song makes me think of what's happening now especially when she sings let freedom ring but our freedom is being taken away and also in the song she says let the guilty pay and that's how I feel about the people who are destroying our country and taking our freedoms away.

Problem is that Hannity didn’t have permission to use the song.

She's a beautiful woman and this is a very moving song for so many of the women out there who have been abused. Let's just not forget that many of us men have been abused too, not so much physically but mentally and emotionally. It happened to me and I suffered as much as any physically abused woman. One day there will be a song for us men to make us stand up strong and not have to resort to violence to take a stand as the woman in this song did to make things right in her own world.

What a song brought tears to my eyes. Everyone remember what this day is all about, My Grandfather celebrates his 78 B- Day today!! I over the years had had 5 family that served OUR country, 2 have passed but they are in a good place. Have a wonderful and safe day. God bless!!!

Independence day , Stand up for America , Remember June 6 1944 . Thank you Martina Mcbride . More of this , Thank you Mike

For the first time today I see who the face of the beautiful voice behind this song belongs to and she is truly beautiful too. I had never heard the full song until today and it is about domestic violence...sad, but I still LOVE the following part, because it is so meaningful & powerful: "Let the whole world know that today is a Day of reckoning Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong Roll the stone away, Let the guilty pay, It's Independence Day"

Been in love with Martina for 25 years

I come from a family that had grandparents that fought all the time when I was growing up. My grandfather was an alcoholic and my grandmother was very religious. I was only 1 of 14 grandkids that stayed with them and saw first hand what alcoholism and abuse can do to a married couple. They are both dead now but I hear songs like this and wish life wouldnt have been happier for the two of them. It affected me a great deal as a child and now as an adult that is why I dont drink.

Her emotions are overpowering. I cried. What an awesome performance!

her voice sends tingles up my spine, that is unreal.

@ beg to disagree! Carrie Underwood outdone them all in all aspects. New Queen of Country Music!!

In my opinion, this is one of the best country music songs. Totally wonderful.

I read a comment that someone said that this song always "makes me cry." Awww.... Other folk claim it gives them goose bumps. I thought to myself, "what dweebs". Then I played the song and found tears rolling down my face. This is a great, GREAT composition, brought to life by one of the beast voices of our generation. Such emotional lyrics carried on a soulfully delivered, powerful melody. Wow.

Greatest female singer of all time. Reba is a close second but I think Martina has her by a little bit and this is my favorite song of hers.

The Goddess of Country Music. Sorry Faith.

MARTINA is by far the best! I listen to that song almost everyday! She’s the ultimate woman voice, class and beauty!!

Martina is just simply amazing! Her voice and personailty.

If she knew then what we know now this song would be a call to arm up the courage to take this Country back.

Great performance...and not only from the perspective of artistic merit. From subsequent posts, Miss McBride did this a few weeks after 9//11...so putting the performance within time context---all the more worthy. And btw...this from Quebec, Canada...almost ALL Canadians shed tears of grief along with you on that horrible day...and our Newfoundlanders showed it by offering up their homes to accommodate HUNDREDS of Americans stranded when flights back to the USA were diverted to Newfoundland...with never a WORD about "compensation"...

War brings out the worst in humanity but in response the best we have to offer will also be displayed. Few things are more beautiful than when people risk it all for whats right and emerge victorious. Sadly it seems the longer civil society exists in peace the more we forget the real value of liberty. Please teach your children why people must sometimes give their lives to keep liberty.

We all need to stay together to keep our Country strong and fair and mostly FREE. GO Martina your an inspiration.

Coming from a New Yorker and proud American Those of you that dont know what she is talking about should be ashamed of yourselves and those making a joke need to check yourselves that day is nothing to fucking joke about and put yourself in the place of someone that lost someone they loved in the attacks, shame on you. She is a beautiful vocalist and a beautiful woman proud she is an American like we should all be.
