For many Americans, July 4 is their favorite day of the summer. They deck themselves out in stars, stripes, and all the red, white, and blue they can handle. It’s also the time of year when you can count on lots of patriotic music. In 1984, Lee Greenwood gave us God Bless the USA, and America was never the same. The song is considered an anthem for those who love their country. Lee is celebrated as a hero for putting the pride Americans feel into words. Great American Media announced a new special, An All-Star Salute to Lee Greenwood, will begin streaming exclusively on Great American Pure Flix. And it arrives just in time for America’s birthday.
