Site music "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood. Here are some of the words that every American should feel in their heart. "I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free, And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me, And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today, 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A.'"
