Which patriotic song by Lee Greenwood is often performed at U.S. July 4 events? The song is God Bless the U.S.A.

Written and recorded by country singer Lee Greenwood, “God Bless the U.S.A.” was released by MCA Nashville on May 21, 1984. It became Greenwood’s signature song and is also commonly known by the descriptive phrase “Proud to Be an American.”

Greenwood has said the song was inspired in part by the 1983 shooting down of Korean Air Lines Flight 007 and by his desire to express national unity. Its first major public exposure came during the 1984 presidential campaign season, and it gained renewed popularity during the Gulf War and after the September 11 attacks.

The song is sometimes mixed up with “God Bless America,” written by Irving Berlin, or with “America the Beautiful.” Those are different patriotic songs. Greenwood’s recording is especially associated with military ceremonies, political events, sporting occasions, and Independence Day celebrations.
