I remember Lee Greenwood performing this on a Bob Hope USO Christmas show during the Gulf War. I bawled like a baby when I watched so many service men -in uniform - crying their hearts out in the audience. At home by myself at the time, I felt the obligation to stand and honor both my country and the men and women defending it.

[@gempalm2003]

im not mil but this tune invol make me stand n salute with tears and an atom bomb size burn in my chest

Wonderful to see love of country and moments shared for all who have honored this country through the decades! GOD'S blessing!

I really just have to say, I’m born and bred one hundred percent Canadian and this song brings me to tears every single time! I love the Home Free version but I have literally stood hand on heart with tears hearing Lee Greenwood sing it as well. You are a proud nation of very patriotic people!! God Bless the USA!

[@danielpacker9603]

I love the version he did for Canada just as much.

I'm proud to be an American! We are free because of you and all men & women who served this AMAZING country!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR NATION SIR! GOD BLESS YOU! #Merica🇺🇲

[@angielewis11872]

They just won an award for this video, being the most viral with over 200million views. Well deserved and great reaction. If you want to hear more of Adam 'Chance' on lead, their newest cover of Born in the USA would be a good one

[@momD612]

Yes!!!! And American pie and Folsom Prison Blues. Adam chance is very impressive!!!

[@loririchards2602]

I think my favorite Chance solo so far is "Down to the Honkytonk" and "Cover Me Up" which he proposes to his now wife at the end..

[@robindew9072]

I salute all who have served and do serve our country.

This gives me chills every time I hear it. It should make every citizen proud to be an American. This song is flawless.

The pride oozing out of your smile is exhilarating, just beautiful!!!! What a blessing it is to be American….thank you for your service!!!!!

[@belinda9696]

Lee Greenwood still has an amazing voice. This whole performance was acapella, Adam Rupp with the beat of the drums.

[@trixietoyou5355]

My husband served in the USMC during desert storm. While on ship he said everytime ships connected for troop transfer or supplies they'd lay this via the radio on every ship nearby. It was incredible

[@kathycuster1714]

Navy wife for 27 years. I love this song. Goosebumps and tears of joy when I hear it!

[@JaneWagman]

This version always gives me goosebumps. Lee Greenwood released the song in 1984. It was played extensively during Desert Storm.

[@lisamcbride8921]

And can we just say bravo Lee Greenwood, who is not a young man anymore he turned 80 the end of October 2022! Damn!

[@samjohnson6525]

I served in the USAF for 15 1/2 years. I remember when the original "God Bless the USA" came out, and this remake is one step up.

[@loririchards2602]

Thank you for your service!!!! Adam Rupp is the beat boxer, he is the one who started Home Free. Adam Chance, they call him Chance, trades off with Tim on bass, but also sings an amazing baritone. Rob is lead tenor, and his voice is smooth as silk. Rob studied opera. He and Austin have an aria that they have recorded together. Austin studied music-theater, and i wouldn't say he has a common voice. He is their high tenor and can do about anything with his voice. The soloists from the Air Force Band have phenomenal voices, as do Home Free. Lee Greenwood still made this a song that will go down in history.

[@projoeiii]

I feel like I’ve said this already but whether I have or not.. I am proud. Of my country. Of you. Thank you, Sir. For everything. God bless you.

[@hazelcampbell2779]

Lee Greenwood is still firing on all cylinders. Joining with Home Free and the Air Force Band just took such an iconic song 🎵 to another level. This was released during quarantine. Kudos to their producer Darren Russ and Adam. Adam does sing 🎶 in a couple of songs when he doesn't beat box .Check out Seven Bridges Road . Great reaction and thanks for your service

[@pennygarrity386]

Don't worry about keeping it together. Doesn't matter who sings it, I well every damn time this song is played. Thank you for your service.

[@ruthcurfman7532]

Adam's kettle drums at the end, and the sound of the fly over once the singing ended was just amazing!

[@kimevans7223]

Lee Greenwood the first saying this in 1973, I am now almost 64. God Bless the U.S.A. was saying all through school as my kids were going through it right after they said the pledge of allegiance, they would sing God Bless the U.S.A. every time it came on the radio they would scream it in the truck it’s one of my favorites and I’m glad Trump picked it for his theme song and as of today which is March 19 24 Lee Greenwood is 81 years old right now and still gone with this song. Also, I want to thank you for serving our country. I have every branch in my family except Coast Guard. My dad was army 21 years. My uncle was Air Force 31 years. Another uncle was marines for 12 years. I’ve got cousins that were in my husband. My son was a Navy, so I’m an army brat and a navy wife and a navy mom, so I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time in the service as well, I hope God blesses you well

[@sheliaspringer7389]

What a powerful compilation! Each three of these groups alone is phenomenol, but put together are untouchable! There are no musical instruments, of course! HOMEFREE carries their instruments in each perfect mouth! The beatboxer, Adam Ruff, can make every sound from a harmonica to snare drums! The bass, Tim Foust, has a 5 octave range and his tenor is as beautiful as is his bass, powerful! He is writing some fantastic songs for the group, now! The other 3 are unbelievable and harmonize better, in my opinion, than any other accapella group out there! The Airforce Band is spectacular and of course this would not be possible without the wonderful songwriting and vocals of the GREAT Lee Greenwood! He is an American treasure! Thank you for your glowing reaction and special THANKS to these 3 groups for coming together to honor AMERICA! ❤

[@ataurus2at]

Awesome reaction! 😊👍 Thank you so much for your service Sir❤🤍💙🇺🇸

[@schvidah1]

Rob who is from Minnesota sings "from the lakes of Minnesota, Tim who is from Texas sings "across the plains of Texas, and Chance who was born in Florida and lives in California sings "from sea to shining sea". I believe that some of the Airmen are from where they sing as well. There is so much meaning in this song. I love the Jet sound that Rupp makes at the end. Amazing.

[@parkermeyers2232]

I don’t know how you kept it together! Just a few words in and my eyes started welling up with tears!! God Bless the USA 🇺🇸!!

[@jeanmcalvey8057]

I actually got to see the boys preform this song live. Totally overwhelmed by the crowds response, everyone was on their feet. When Tim hit those low notes you could feel the floor vibrate. If you ever get the chance to see Home Free live it’s well worth it.

Lee Greenwoods God Bless the USA was played when I graduated the US Navy bootcamp in October of 1999. I cried like a baby and was so very proud to be serving my country. Fast forward to August of 2021 I had my retirement ceremony after 22 years of Active Duty service and I'm still so very proud of my country. God Bless the USA and God Bless those who are currently serving. Thank you for you service and sacrifice!

[@daventunes3822]

On the second verse, each singer is actually from the area they sing about in their phrase. That's neat. Also, Lee has not lost a step and he's in his late 70s when this was filmed. This arrangement let him do a bunch of ad libs he'd never had a chance to do as a soloist. You could tell he was loving it.

[@alankemper4068]

Thank you for your service. I understand what it means. I have an uncle I never met because he was shot down in the pacific. My father was in the army air corps too. My daughter and son in law are in the air force. They are both retiring this year. God bless the USA and those who risk their lives to protect it, from the military down to the police, firemen and paramedics.

Wow. This had to be fun for Mr. Greenwood as well. Having backing vocals allowed him to perform echos and trills that you can't get away with when you're singing a solo. Of course Home Free knocked it out of the park. Loved the other voices as well. Great rendition.

[@chrismorin1318]

I've loved this song since it was released and it's never lost it's power over me! Lee Greenwood said that after performing this song basically the same way for decades, he was finally able to adlib the way he had never been able to before. And when Adam starts in on that snare towards the end I always get goosebumps and tears. Usually before that to be honest, but definitely as soon as that snare hits, I'm done for! Thank you for your service and sacrifices! And thank you for the great reactions. ❤

[@lrfcowper]

Adam's beatboxing in this is just out of this world. The military cadence toward the end and then the fighter jet flyover sound at the very end! FYI, the bass-baritone Adam Chance just goes by Chance. He joined in 2016, but beatboxer Adam Rupp is the only remaining founding member from when they started in 2000, so he has 16 years' seniority and "dibs" on the name 😁
