I figured on Memorial Day, this would be appropriate.

That song is never appropriate. I’m sorry.

very appropriate. Not only for our country, our fallen soldiers, and for me as it was the last song I performed as a member of the POTSB.

Its hard not to get choked up at that song. Maybe its a curse that a love for this country has been instilled in me from a young age. Heck...I get choked up watching the end of "Miracle"...and the extreme far left who hate this country disgust me...and I wish they'd exercise their option to just leave. We ain't perfect...but we're still the best thing going.

I appreciate OP for posting and what this song means to me and I think to many others. For me, there are no overtones of other meanings just a song that touches my emotions and reminds me to be thankful for what we have. I remember it so well when most of the 157,000 people in attendance at Bristol sang along when "God Bless the USA" was played.

And especially on this day, when we honor all those who have gone before us, we thank God also for the men and women who fought for our freedom and for those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The freedom for anyone to say what they want and the freedom to worship in our own way, or not.

As part of the great American family, we take pride in the accomplishments of each individual American much like someone would be proud of an accomplishment of a member of their immediate family.

We love the natural beauty of the landscape that stretches from coast to coast and especially love Tennessee and like that Tennessee is mentioned in Lee Greenwood's song even if it the best word for the lyrics to rhyme.

We are thankful for God, Family, Country, and the Tennessee Vols.

IMHO

I guess @Frozevol is not going to come back and defend his statement. Pretty common from these anti America snowflakes. See it everyday on social media. They make a comment and run. His one like ran also

Could it simply have been an anti-Lee Greenwood singing statement?

Liberty Bowl, 1986. Lee Greenwood at halftime. UT vs Minnesota. And the song goes.....

"From the lakes of Minnesota
To the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas
From sea to shining sea"

I was there, it was great!

It was GREAT to see/hear Lee last season @Homecoming sing this, with over 1,200 members of the current/past POTS Band covering the field. Made this old man shed a tear.
I was there in ‘86, too!

I love that song! It makes all who love America feel a great sense of pride and gratefulness!!! I'm sure it evokes an opposite effects in those that don't. Maybe that's why I love it so much.

Could it be he is anti American ? Works both ways

If it was about Lee Greenwood then he should just said it. It looks to be more about the song
