AIES GOD BLESS THE USA GR 3

• Grade Level 3
• Year: 2019
• Composer: Lee Greenwood, arr. Stephen Bulla

Here is a patriotic song describing pride in America that was written by Lee Greenwood in 1984. It has obtained a classic status that few songs reach. It was a favorite of President Ronald Reagan and received greater prominence during the Gulf War as a way of boosting morale. Much like Irving Berlin's 1918 "God Bless America" it points to a God to whom "we raise our voices, in a solemn prayer."
