@zedzed headhead the election audit in arizona being carried out now is showing major issues like many americans have been saying happened in the 2020 election. Duplicate ballots with no corresponding original, 10-20% of ballots missing from batches counted, aka 200 was counted in the election but the batch has only 160; also the maricopa county refuse to give access to routers which would show the dominon voting machines were connected to the internet. Once they get them and they show they were connected, then anyone around the world can hack in and change votes no problem, 0 security. The 2020 election was a massive fraud, I would be surprised if Biden got any more than 30 million real votes. All the evidence is being covered up by the mainstream media and big tech as much as they possibly can, they are complicit in overthrowing Trump, the real president.

My Scottish brother, the original release of this song by Lee Greenwood has always been a favorite of mine and I have wanted to learn it to sing it myself at our Independence Day Celebrations. This version, as you have said, is so well done and while still featuring Lee Greenwood as the main vocalist, is enhanced by the a cappella group, Home Free, and members of the U.S. armed forces. As an American, with predominantly English and French ancestry, I am a descendant from a great American family that produced notable patriots such as Samuel Adams and two U.S. Presidents, John Adams and his son, John Quincey Adams. I live in Alaska, and having served in the armed forces myself, have always had a great sense of patriotism and seek to preserve those freedoms that my ancestors fought to establish.

Lee Greenwood, Home Free, and the United States Air Force Singing Sergeants..... beautiful combination of voices! Loved it!!!

Lee Greenwood first wrote this as a patriotic song and released in the 1980's. First played and heard at the RNC (Republican National Convention) for President Ronald Reagan. ..It wasn't a huge hit but released again during the Gulf war as way to help boost morale for our armed forces so far away from home. To let them know we back in the states support them....and then after 9/11 it truly hit a signature song and dies to this day. We love our country, we know what our troops are going through, we know what they and those before them are sacrifices for...regardless of what some are trying to push right now, there are millions of Americans standing strong and love our country. Unfortunately there are those who don't understand what they have...God Bless the U.S.A. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽

The guys singing without uniforms, is an acapella group called Home Free. This song is so beautiful, you don't realize there is no musical instruments being used. They make the music with their voices. It's magnificent.

Everytime I here this song I cry, not with sadness, but with pride for my Country and the gratefulness for my freedom and to those who gave their lives and serve everyday to protect us.

This song gives me chills and makes me cry. I truly am proud to be an American.

When I heard Miss Whitney Houston belt out our National Anthem during Desert Storm, I, ALMOST lost it!!!! But, this song, by Mr. Lee Greenwood REALLY hits home for me, as well!!!! Thank you, Mr. Lee Greenwood for creating an, singing the MOST AWESOME AND, PATRIOTIC SONG, OUTSIDE OF OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM!!!!

Was born in Scotland. My family moved to the U.S. when I was 9.I did 2 tours in Afghanistan and 1 in Iraq. I love my adopted Country. Awesome reaction.

Thank you very much

This was Such a Powerful song when it came out and is still today... Absolutely LOVE this song!!

This *is* *the* best version.

I remember him coming to Austin on Memorial Day many years ago and it just makes you cry and so proud and feel so lucky to be an American. Very lucky thanks to our Men and Women of the UNITED STATES MILITARY that protect us.

The harmonies with the band Home Free made this more special than it already was.

Love your reaction. You should do more Home Free reactions.

You didn't quite title your video correct lee was featured with home free a acuppella band

Oh really. I must double check

Lee Greenwood wrote this song in 1984. The reason was because he loves America. Thank you, Don! SEMPER FI 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

My pleasure

No instruments, the group Home Free is an a capella group. Watch Home Free videos, you will be amazed. "Man of Sorrow " and "Ring of Fire"

And we, I’ll speak on behalf of my fellow Americans, love you!

If we ever drop the star spangled banner, this would be the new national anthem, I feel like a lot of us treat it as an honorary one already lol

we have a lot of good national pride songs.

Wow, this makes me cry. I truly love the USA 🇺🇸 & Always will. God Bless Our Great Country ❤🇺🇲❤

Lee Greenwood, who started the song wrote & sang it way back, he’s now 76 years old & still has it !!! I’m sure he lives in Nashville as do 2 of the 5 of the HOME FREE guys. They are an a cappella voice band...No instruments...& have 130+ here on KZread!!!

Well, if you haven't experienced Home Free before, prepare yourself to fall headfirst down the rabbit hole. They're an a capella country vocal band. They've done other songs featuring other singers ( check out their collaboration with Don McLean for the 50th anniversary of American Pie )...each one brilliant. Start with Man of Constant Sorrow. And no, there are no instruments. We Home Fries will be waiting for you at the bottom of the rabbit hole. We'll save you a spot.

This particular song is one that is almost revered within the US military. It puts in everything that we serve for it just gives such a voice to why we serve. It isnt just for a few we serve for every american. for the freedom of all of us.

My high school marching band worked this into our show and received standing ovations each performance. This song still gives me the chills. I love seeing your reaction for the first time.

I'm a disabled veteran and I must tell you when we hear this you have no idea the emotions it stirs! My god I want to stand up and go back.

Please consider FIRST TIME HEARING Joey & Rory "When I'm Gone". Very powerful. Sadly, the message in this song came true for these two years later after recording. (tissue alert) Hope you appreciate and enjoy this wonderful video. Thank you in advance.

Chills, Everytime I hear it. I love this land🎵🎶🗽🇺🇸♥️

Great reaction! I'm retired U.S. Air Force, and the military singers were all from the Air Force, along with Lee and HF. Makes me very proud of the AF AND the country to hear this! Lot's of patriotism associate with this song. When I was still in, and stationed in the P.I., years ago, Lee came there and sang this song. TONS of screaming and yelling (in a good way!).

I'm from the U.S.A and that song has always made me cry.... we bleed 🔴⚪🔵

I’m requested this song a few days ago, I’m soooo glad enough other people requested it cause you to choose to react to it. I just turned my KZread on for the first time today and found this in my suggestions, first in line. I am so happy for your reaction, and it was wonderful. I love how much you loved it. Thank you❤️🤍💙

Lee Greenwood (first singer) sounded great for 75! He wrote and sang the song originally. Home Free is an “a cappella” group (in plain clothes) that backed him up. Their bass, Tim Foust, is amazing. And their beatboxer (no instruments) did the drum sounds and a jet flyover sound at the end! The Air Force Singing Sergeants were great. All had great voices. It’s a great rendition. Great reaction Don!

A few years ago, my son and his fiancé we at the Grand Old Opry for a concert on July 4th. To their surprise, Lee Greenwood came out and performed this song. My son said the tears flowed.

This song sends chills through my whole body. It feels like my skin is crawling. It makes me so proud to be an American from Western Kentucky!

They did this a Capella with a group named home free! Proud to be an American!!!

I LOVEEEEE my country!!!!! GOD BLESS the USA!!!!!!!!!!!

Detroit checking in here! Crying like a baby! 🥲🤣😂

Thank you for this reaction. My Grandfather, Father, Husband and Brother have all been in the Navy. This song always makes me cry, right from the first note.

This song has always meant so much to me. While I was at Basic for the US Navy, every Sunday, during Services, this song was one of the last songs that would play before we had to head back to our companies. It was and always will be, an amazing and powerful song

The Dons Channel, Thank You for reacting to this song. Great Song. Please Check out UNITED STATES NAVY BAND on you tube name of song( America the Beautiful.) They have some really awesome songs on there. They are INCREDIBLE!!!. Thanks again for all your love from Scotland for America.

Home Free, the phenomenal a cappella group who participated in this production, covered this song during a music video created at Mt. Rushmore some years ago. Well worth a view and perhaps another reaction.

I have commented on your blog before and I still believe that you are a true American. I am proud to call you brother. Keep fighting with the Patriots of this beloved

Those of us that are proud Americans will, in fact, fight for our freedoms. You will see more and more protect those freedoms as our patriotism is being challenged. Thank you for your reaction to this song!
