Adam Rupp's (the beatboxer/vocal percussionist) tremendous snare cadence and Air Force jet flyover at the end just take this over the top! 🔥❤💯 I can't believe Lee Greenwood still sounds so great in his mid-70s!!

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

I'm here because you chose to highlight this powerful collaboration. I really enjoyed your reaction, and hope you will join the Home Free fans (called "Home Fries") down a long road of vocal wonderment. Their voices are individually great, but come together without instruments in unbelievable harmony. Their song choices show a long history of respect for veterans everywhere, anti-racism, and just pure love. On that note, I'll say that the ugly racism going on now is the product of a minority getting too much political power. We Americans (the other 70%) kind of fell asleep at the switch and didn't notice how much malice was creeping into our offices of power. I believe it's not too late to redeem our reputation across the globe. Thank you for spreading the words of peace, love and freedom.

[@damiensteiner9919]

That's how tyranny operates my friend. It whispers all problems can be solved if you just trust that voice. By the time your rights have been torn away its obvious a revolution is necessary to regain them. All the best from the UK

[@joehouse3800]

God Bless America!! Land of the Free, and let's keep it Free from foreign, and domestic threats!! I Love this Country Dearly!!

[@dellison58]

Seeing so many Brits bashing the USA on social media lately, it is refreshing to find someone who undrestands and appreciates our patriotism. This earned you a follow. :)

[@christinareutinger3338]

What are you talking about the British people are on our side they love America

[@linda6987]

We are not short on patriotism! Lee Greenwood is the best. The other soldiers are amazing too! ♥️🤍💙🇺🇸💙🤍♥️

[@stevesuarez1903]

I can never hear this song without crying.

[@jillsmith1134]

God Bless The USA and her brothers and sisters all across the world!!

[@tebubba]

I love your emotional reaction to GOD BLESS THE USA. I tear up every time I listen to it.

[@MommaBird52]

Lee said he had more freedom in this arrangement than he did the original and it was his song! There is a video about the making if this rendition of this song.

[@joannajohnson8210]

This group is amazing. They do a lot of country and are (obviously) not afraid to show their love of our country. They have a whole album of patriotic songs, most covers with a few originals. One original is "Land of the Free." They also cover "My Country Tis of Thee," "Travelin Soldier," "Brothers in Arms."

[@momD612]

All those are incredible! ❤

[@cindyknudson2715]

Yes! Please.

[@gregsteele806]

Travelin Soldier is hard to listen to. Breaks me up everytime.

[@davidnunn6608]

Mr. Lee Greenwood let loose on this one and sounded amazing.

[@heatherlea6825]

Loved his enhancements!

[@davidnunn6608]

@@heatherlea6825 yes, I thought I heard somewhere that Lee said he never veered away from the original. The runs and the extra really brought it to a new level. For a man in his 80s he still has some serious pipes.

[@heatherlea6825]

@@davidnunn6608 oh yeah. He's not diminished at all. He said he needed others to carry the song so he could add more. Turned out excellent.

[@leslieoneal4464]

You'd love a Home Free original called "Land of the Free"! It was written by Tim Foust (the guy with the deep bass voice). It's a fantastic song and video! 🔥❤💯🇺🇸

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Welcome to Home Free ! The best acapella group out there. They are pretty dang awesome

[@trishharrison3618]

God bless all the heroes and their families for our freedom and God bless the USA🙏♥️🙂

[@AnyTwoWillD0]

I love this song..FREEDOM is American 🇺🇸. Thank you my brother UK. Hello from California.

[@2nicnag2]

I surprised my husband with this as our first dance song at our wedding. He is the most patriotic non veteran I’ve ever known. Due to concussions from sports in high school he couldn’t be medically cleared to be in the military. Every year around Independence Day we hear the song and it always takes us back to our wedding. We saw Lee Greenwood perform it last summer and were just feet away from Lee. It was incredible. I am getting nothing done just watching the videos! :)

[@Nonnie335]

Thank you for appreciating our patriotism. This song gives me chills and tears too. I am very proud to be an American 🇺🇸 I am proud to say God bless. Some of us are still God, family, and Country. I’m one of them which is obvious by my name.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Oh thank you! Home Free is awesome, you simply cannot go wrong with them, I haven't heard a bad one from them yet. It is even more wowing when you realize that Lee Greenwood was up in his mid 70s at that time and still has strong pipes and the only instruments are the guys' voices.

[@angelamiller6275]

Remember, there are NO instruments; this is all a capella, including the flyover at the end. The deep voice you heard was Tim; he has a 5 octave range.

[@ppresley9208]

Thank you for your respect for our patriotism ... Home Free is never afraid to show theirs ... these guys are as down-home as they come !

[@royperkins9176]

Love Home Free, my favorite a cappella group. Love this collaboration and your reaction. Thanks.

[@christinareutinger3338]

Love this song,we as Americans need to stand our ground and defend what is ours nobody's got the right to come into our country and take what is ours are poison men have been fighting for this country for many years now and because of them we have freedom.

[@lisamcbride8921]

That low bass was Tim Faust who is from Texas originally, he has such a wonderful voice. Great reaction! ❤

[@amyjothomas222]

The last chorus with the drums gets me every time ❤️

[@hannabertrand4460]

Less than a year after 9/11 I danced at the pregame show at a New Orleans Saints game to this song. At the end we pulled an American flag shaped like America across the field. Everyone in the stadium was standing and crying. It was so beautiful. 🇺🇲

[@sandychisholm1297]

They sing a cover of Brother in Arms Haunting Yet Beautiful ❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🙏🙏

[@marterisher2335]

I love this song as well. But what makes it especially fabulous is the combined voices of all the participants!

[@mpowers6653]

As military spouse I have chills every time I heard the song.

[@kimking6036]

Lee Greenwood still has an Amazing voice as does The members of the Air force choir. I am a huge Home Free fan. A Home Fry completely. The instruments you heard were from Home Free's voices. Mainly Adam Rupp. The deep voice was Tim Foust. I was never a fan of A capella. But these men changed that forever. This song always makes me emotional and gives me chills. Thank you ☮️

[@barbaraletourneau1130]

Oh, Lee Greenwood and Home Free!! Love it! Lee's song played over the loudspeaker at Kunsan AB, South Korea, every time our exercises were over!!

[@bryanpscolka7280]

God Bless every country. We just need to get along. We are all brothers and sisters.

[@cavamom]

My favorite version of this song. Lee Greenwood sounds better than ever. Thank you for reacting to it.

[@vinnieblair8576]

ONE FOR THE ALGORITHM. CHEERS!!

[@JNJ1983]

It doesn't matter how many times I hear this, it still makes me cry. It has always been cool to cause a ruckus for freedom...starting with the Boston Tea Party...that's why the right to assembly is written in the U.S. Constitution. Have we forgotten "no taxation without representation!" It is possible to be a proud citizen AND want progress....it's literally built into the fabric of the nation...in the form of Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and other legislation, as well as the SCOTUS. And it is always okay, and cool, to ask God to bless the U.S.A. And everywhere else, too. To quote a tiny little boy named Tim, God bless us, every one.

[@parsifal40002]

Magnificent! Proud to be an American!!

[@PattyMcqG]

I'm very old so in my day all men had that deep luscious voice!

It's so easy to forget that there isn't really a drum playing. This is one of my favorites.

[@tabithalowdermilk8492]

Can’t wait to have you as an American! 🇺🇸

[@damiensteiner9919]

Our Americans never disappoint.

[@beckymotley1343]

Lee Greenwood wrote and sang the original “God Bless the USA” back in the 1980’s. This song is and has been (my opinion) the 2nd most popular song played after our national anthem (“The Star Spangled Banner”).

[@JoanN63]

I love this! What a wonderful collaboration with Lee Greenwood and The United States Air Force band. One by one such beautiful voices which match so well with the voices of Home Free. The fact that Lee Greenwood remains the center of attention I think shows a lot of respect for this great singer. But Adam Rupp tops it off with his incredible beatboxing/vocal percussion/vocal sounds. He is inhuman.❤️

[@fevalenzuela840]

I thank you for your reaction to this song unlike some "americans" openly say they hate America

[@alankemper4068]

You need to watch more home free they are amazing.

[@Teresia12]

Did I see a tear? God bless you too hun.

[@user-ez5vd7dz2u]

Thank you for being such a patriot and having such respect for America and the military. You have more respect for America then our own President. I do have a request to see your reaction to the video/song, Lee Greenwood’s IN THE USE TODAY live at the GRAND OL’OPREY. you are going to love this song too. I takes place when the war broke out and expresses that no matter how bad we think we have it in America, there’s more good then bad in America and that’s what we should focus on. Again thank you for showing such respect for America and I don’t know if you’re here full time yet but welcome to in my opinion to the greatest Country on earth. god Bless You And God Bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸

I wish my poor father survived the Vietnam War because I know he would have loved this wonderful video! He was only 19. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video with us! ❤❤❤

[@xScooterAZx]

Lee Greenwood is the original singer who wrote the song. He's the first person singing in this video. The older one.

[@susanland1391]

LOL, that's funny, because the bass singer (Tim Foust) is from Texas! Keep the HF coming!

[@donnamoskowitz4978]

"Brothers in Arms" is a must listen to by Home Free!!!

[@autaum6536]

There are still a whole lot of us...still patriotic and fly our flags and wear our shirts.....the news is a small part of who we are.....WE ARE STILL HERE ....GOD BLESS THE U.S.A!!!! Come visit...you will see :)

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Welcome to the legion of Home Fries. They have so man great songs out it's hard to just pick a few to recommend. Two that are a good comparison in the spectrum of emotions they can bring up are Go Rest High on That Mountain and Brother. The first is a very moving video, matching the love and mourning one has for a lost loved one. The second song has a beautiful message of brotherhood and supporting each other but it can be hard to concentrate on the when the video itself brings tears of laughter to your eyes. You might want to check out the videos they did while stuck at home during the quarantine. Each of them did their recording in and around their own home (in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Los Angeles, CA, and Nashville, Tennessee) for the footage to be mesh together in some fantastic videos, about twice a month for a while. See Quarantine, Sunday Best, Down to the Honkytonk, Meet in the Middle, and Flowers on the Wall. And then there's the one they did with Peter Hollens, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. This one is a good example of what reactors have to remember for videos by Home Free, Tim Foust, Austin Brown as well as their friends VoicePlay, and their bass singer Geoff Castellucci: Keep watching until the patron credits roll. Just because the song is over doesn't mean the video itself is. Enjoy!

[@RussellWhite-yk7qd]

I have had the pleasure of seeing Lee perform on board the use Nimitz in 87

[@jankreps5115]

This is a great version of this song!! Lee Greenwood start singing is in his late 70s and wrote this song years ago! Watch the Patreon making of this video where Lee and the producers share their experiences as country kids and how this song makes them feelH. Home Free is a very patriotic a cappella group! Listen to their original. “ land of the free”, “My country ‘tis of Thee!!”, “Only in America”! Great reaction!!

[@markmatthews4481]

I was being deployed from Germany to Kuwait, Operation Desert Storm after Saddam invaded Kuwait. We had completed out processing, and we were on a German charter bus at Rein Mien Air Force Base, heading for the tarmac to board our plane. The bus was insanely noisy, we were all nervous and scared about where we were going. This song came on the radio, the bus driver stopped the bus and shut off the motor. Nobody made a sound until the song ended, and we all had tears in our eyes. This song sure brings back memories.

[@mikeyreacts234]

This is an incredible story, wow, honestly thank you for sharing it! I can close my eyes and nearly imagine that feeling sir. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your service! ❤️🇺🇸

They have a full album of patriotic songs called “Land of the Free “ with some classics and a few originals.

[@gaylonlavigne3007]

and Thank you Mikey for that sweet reaction👍

[@dorothyclay]

Wow, oh wow. That was awesome❤❤❤

[@mikemccauley3487]

I am astonished you never heard Home Free. By far one of the best groups today. Add to that, they are acapella which you will not believe when listening. be forewarned you will be going down a deep deep rabbit hole when starting listening to them. But you will not want to come out in any way, shape or form once entered.

[@chrisvallia3602]

You are more American than A LOT of Americans Love the the content so far

[@teresacartwright5406]

This is such a stirring song you don't have to be American to appreciate it. The addition of the U.S. Air Force band just elevates a good song even more. Incidentally, Tim Foust (bass) is from southeast Texas. Home Free has also collaborated with such legends as Kenny Rogers, Alabama, The Oak Ridge Boys, Peter Hollens, Don McLean and Charlie Daniels. Fall down the Home Free rabbit hole - it's a great trip! They sing almost every genre from goofy to gospel. Love from a new Canadian subscriber.

[@vickiadkins9844]

Home Fry here!! Subbed for more Home Free!! Tim, Austin, Rob, Chance and Adam!

[@brookemiley4927]

Great reaction! You should check out Home Free. All very talented as well as having a great sense of humor! The guy with the deep voice is Tim Faust and he has an amazing range to his voice. Check out Man of Constant Sorrow first. They also do a great cover of End of The Road.

[@braddaves242]

This song describes American perfectly, from our patriotism to just love of the military and freedom for all. Forget the political BS this is who we are

[@randieandjodistrom854]

...and God save the King, and God rest the soul of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. I am an American, and as such I'm antithetical to monarchies, but I must equally acknowledge that I have great respect for the late Queen Elizabeth II. We lived in the UK for a brief time during her rule as she was so dedicated to the people of the UK and the Commonwealth--she was an amazing woman, and worthy of the highest respect. She didn't choose to be Queen, she was thrust into the position, and she held it with grace and brilliance, and to the benefit of all those under her rule. Even someone who is opposed to monarchy in principle, if challenged objectively, cannot disparage how Queen Elizabeth discharged her duties as Queen. Again, even though I loathe the concept of monarchies, I do wish and pray all the best for King Charles III, both for him personally and his family (as I would anyone), but much, much more for those who look to him as a leader. I pray he will be at least as good a steward of his obligations as was his mother--a measure I consider to be insurmountable, but will be gratified to be proven wrong.

[@cherylhaynes3960]

While I love the US, let’s be real, this is not the place to be if you lost everything. One thing I love about this song is, when it’s played on a jukebox in a bar, every one sings along. Especially, the military in the bar. I’m married to a retired combat vet and this rings true everywhere!

[@georgemegaw2925]

So the beginning of the video is all the studios where this was produced …LA, Nashville, Minneapolis and the Singing Sargents in D.C. Done during the pandemic, it’s impressive that all the performers were never physically together at one time.

The military personnel are the "Singing Sergeants" USAF Band.

And we may lose it to the radicals . And that would be very sad , but we are fighting back , to save our country .
