I like "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood and as you mentioned "God Bless America" by Celine.

Anyone remember this old song? "God Bless America Again"...We had an evangelist and his wife who came to our church and sang this in the early to mid 70s.

I found this at this site:
http://cowboylyrics.com/tabs/ritter-...gain-2437.html

GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN
Recorded by: Tex Ritter (my wife's uncle - great version)/Loretta Lynn
Submitted by: Thomas Rivers; tipper194@juno.com

(Chorus-Sing)
GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN
YOU SEE ALL THE TROUBLE THAT SHEâS IN
WASH HER PRETTY FACE, DRY HER EYES AND THEN
GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN

[We play the melody of the chorus behind these recitations.]

(Verse 1-Recite)
GOD, I SURE DO WISH YOUâD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN
YOU KNOW, THE WAY YOU DID BACK WHEN IT ALL BEGAN
YOU BLESSED HER THEN, LORD, BUT SOMEHOW WE JUST TOOK IT FOR GRANTED
AND WE NEVER DID ASK AGAIN
SO, JUST HOLD HER HAND, GOD, THATâS ALL
AND IF SHE SHOULD STUMBLE, PLEASE DONâT LET HER FALL

(Verse 2-Recite)
YOU KNOW I NEVER DID UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING I READ AND HEAR ABOUT WHATâS
WRONG WITH AMERICA
BUT WHEN YOU DONâT HAVE A LOT OF BOOK LEARNING
I GUESS THEREâS LOTS OF THINGS YOU DONâT UNDERSTAND
BUT LET ME SAY THIS, GOD ö SHEâS LIKE A MOTHER TO ME
AND ALL I AM OR EVER HOPE TO BE, I OWE TO YOU AND TO HER·..

[I wrote the following verse during a former administration - use it with
my blessing - Tom Rivers]

(Verse 3-Recite)
SOME OF OUR PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN YOUR ROLE IN AMERICAâS GREATNESS, LORD
AND HONESTY AND CHARACTER DONâT SEEM TO COUNT MUCH WITH OUR LEADERS
ANYMORE
LORD, WHEN YOU WERE INVOLVED, AMERICA WAS A BEACON TO THE WORLD,
AND WITH YOUR HELP, SHE CAN BE AGAIN.
SO PLEASE GOD····BLESS AMERICA··..AGAIN.

(Tag-Sing)
WASH HER PRETTY FACE, DRY HER EYES AND THEN
GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN.

I agree about the movie "The Patriot". I think it should be required viewing for all school kids.

That way even the most dense of them who won't read books and fall asleep during lessons about American History will at least have a clue about the origins of their country.

My favorite patriotic song is probably God Bless America. I also like the National Anthem. At Titans games I am always wiping tears away when it is done and many times not because the singer was bad!

I used to show it my Social Studies class in NY ... my kids loved it ... they would ask to see it again.

They would even cheer at the end of the movie.

I love God Bless America also!!!
