Go ahead....get emotional. I don't trust a man who can't cry. God gave us tears for a reason. My daddy served in the USAAF in WW2......and my son gave 21 years to the Corps, serving in Iraq and retiring as a Major. I am oh so proud of them both. We live on the back door of Quantico Marine Base, and believe me, the men and women of the Corps appreciate it when someone thanks them. I went home to Chicago for Christmas a couple of years ago, and met a young soldier going home to surprise his mom for Christmas. I thanked him for his service, and he just beamed. I know he had one happy momma that Christmas.

Lee Greenwood was excited about this rendition because they let him sing it the way he really wanted it sung. Besides The USAF Band , Lee Greenwood, Tim , Rob , Chance, and Austin. What Adam Rupp did for percussion and his jet fly by. He gets a HUGE way to kick ass Adam.. love your reactions Chris and I wish you would do more Home Free. Prayers to you and your family for your loss

I cry every single time I listen to it. And I have listened to this a million times. (Not kidding). What has happened to our country????

You asked what you were listening to: A masterpiece. Lee Greenwood still sounds great. He was able the do some adlibs to this version that he always wanted to do. This was done during quarantine and all the parts were done in the 4 cities at the beginning of this video and seamlessly edited together. The Air Force Singing Sargents were fantastic. Thank you for your heart felt reaction and to your father-in-law for his service to the country. Sorry for your loss. Keep coming back to Home Free every once in a while, there are plenty of great songs to explore. Your and your family have a blessed day.

Home Free often ends their concerts with this song. When they do, the whole audience stands and sings with them. It gave me goosebumps for sure.

It's not hokey to thank them for their service... It's gratitude and I want them to know it. Great honest reaction to a great version of this song.

What a wonderful tribute to "Pop's" memory. You were so into the song I am not surprised that you caught Adam's "fly over" percussion at the end. Since you are a newer reactor to "Home Free" you might not have had the opportunity to listen to all their patriotic and social justice videos but you must. Another aspect that Home Free always endeavors to bring to their projects is to honor the legends that they are collaborating with. Thanks for doing this. 🇺🇲

Adam nailed the vocal percussion in this one. It was a special one!! Great reaction!! 💖💖💖

That's Adam Rupp for ya.....the flyover at the end. Perfection 🥰 I have extensive military history in my family. They did this impeccably. Lee is said to have said he was so thrilled to dobthis with HF and the USAF Singing Sargeants, AND to finally sing it the way he wanted to! Word also is, that Lee asked HF, and THEY asked if he was OK with the USAF group to join. Gotta love those guys. 😍 they also covered "go redt high on that mountain" which is gorgeous!, and "my country tis of thee", which is also gorgeous 😍 ❤️

I don’t know how any American could listen to this and not get emotional!

Those flyover sounds Adam makes at the end always give me an extra dose of goosebumps 🥰

This is by far the best version of this song, if it doesn’t bring out some emotion in one listening to this, I feel sorry for. them..I’m married to a Vietnam veteran and my pride in our military grows every time I listen to this song. Glad to see it also touched your heart.

As a retired USAF veteran, I thank you for your deep thoughts regarding this performance and the men and women it honors. I don’t think this could ever be performed better.

What a beautiful tribute! My tears are falling with you my dear Friend! You're just incredible 😍. This song always tugs at my heartstrings. Hugs hugs hugs, patti. Ps you serve everyday more than you will ever know!!!

Go rest high on that mountain is another great one!

God bless these United States of America . There’s no way we can pay back our brave heroes. 🇺🇸 what we can do is never forget.

You might like their version of “God Bless America”. I cry every time I see this video. No shame is that. I always thank any serviceman I see for their service. They can think I’m not cool, that’s fine. I want them to know they are honored!

This was during quarantine so to get this produced and edited...Home Free have the best productions. Adam is a beast in this. His drum sounded so real.

Thank you Chris, a special reaction to a gorgeous rendition of this song! So thankful! ♥️ 💙

My husband was in the Army in Dessert Storm.. This Song Means so much to Us!!! Thank God For Our Men & Women For Their Sacrifice & Service FOR OUR FREEDOM.. GOD BLESS THE USA❤️🇺🇲🙏

This brought me to tears too! The best ever version of this wonderful, patriotic song. God bless our military!

God has incredibly blessed this country since our inception and what have we done for Him to show our gratitude? We have kicked Him out of every part of our society we possibly can. Our nation is currently experiencing what it is like to live without God's blessing. Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice for the whole world and now it's our turn to thank Him! I agree that this is an incredibly moving song and Lee still sounds fantastic! My dad was in the Navy during WWII and I too want to share my gratitude to all those who serve. God Bless the U.S.A.! Never apologize for being grateful, great job!

Larry at their concerts when they sing this, the audience rises for the song. It's an incredible experience. Been trying to get you to understand, Home Free is *MORE* than country music...they are *THE REAL DEAL* . My cousin got drafted in 1969 and came home to Miami in 1972, minus his right leg, and with drug abuse and alcohol abuse and next to no0 help from the DoD and the VA fighting him for his rightful benefits...he went and fought, not because he wanted to but because he had to do so, and then refused to treat him decently...and in 1979 in the middle of downtown Miami he blew his brains out because he was in such despair, he had nothing to lose he thought. By the way when he left he had been a high school athlete and then in college he took up bodybuilding - and this was before the abuse of steroids became a thing in that sport, and he was a big (especially to me a 10 year old he was my idol I looked up to, all I wanted to do was grow up to be and look like him...he was a hero) and then she the shadow of that man come home defeated in every way possible, and for people to treat him so disrespectfully and the government to turn their backs on him, it was disgusting

My heart is with you… I’m crying with with you.

Don’t be ashamed…you’ve served in your own way. Someone has to hold down the home front so there’s a reason for someone else to stand on the front line. So thank YOU.

From this very proud Air Force Brat, I so deeply appreciate this song and your reaction!!! Thank you😊

Mr. Greenwood...here he is in his mid-seventies?.....and can still belt it out....RESPECT... and of course over the years this song is as iconic as the Star Spangled Banner....even if you don't know the words mostly likely you have heard it...

"Pops" was an American hero, we never forget our soldiers, nor the sacrifice the soldier AND their families make. God Bless you, sir!

My dad was a WWII VET and I miss him and my mom soooooo much..they both passed away in 1994 within 5 months of each other..I'm so proud to be one of their 10 children..🇺🇸🙏♥️

Oh Chris, hugs to you and everyone who has served and their families of which I’m one. God bless the USA 🇺🇸❤️

Thank you for viewing this video! It is a very stirring rendition of a very powerful song.

HANDS DOWN the GREATEST RENDITION of OUR COUNTRIES HEART FELT SONG !! As a retired US ARMY MILITARY POLICEMAN , YES , it BRINGS TEARS to my EYES !! GOD BLESS ALL WHO MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE and ALL OUR WOUNDED SOLDIERS , OUR FAMILIES WHO LOST LOVED ONES !! BE ASSURED , ALL VETERANS and PATRIOTS WILL DEFEND OUR WONDERFUL COUNTRY WITH OUR LIVES !! Play this song , LOUD AND PROUD , GOD BLESSED ALL OUR MEN WHO SERVED and STILL SERVE !! We all BLEED RED , WHITE and BLUE !!

Thank You! I'm not an American, I'm here in the UK, from the UK. ... But I love this Anthem, the American Anthem, brings tears to my eyes and soul. Great lyrics, as you said profound! The singers all brought real heart felt meaning to the song. Thanks again for sharing. Enjoy your day, blessings from the UK. ❤

I love ADAM RUPP, the beatboxer doing the sound of the jets flying by

To my fellow brothers and sisters who served during and in the Viet Nam war who were verbally (and some times physically) abused a simple "thank you" means a lot.

This is so going to make me cry!!!

Feel NO shame about being "patriotic"! There isn't a bit of shame involved. NEVER apologize for feeling emotion abut your family, friends, or loyalties. It's certainly not weakness, but strength! I heard Lee sing this, live, in the '80's, in the Philippines, when I was in the Air Force stationed there (retired AF). Trust me, we were all highly emotional!

I cry every time I listen to this ! Which is about 6 times daily! We all need to hear this right now with all the diversity going on in America.

And can we have a shout out for the tech support on this? It was recorded and filmed in at least 4 different locations. Even the Home Free members were not all in the same place when they sang. The sound mixers and editors for Home Free are nothing short of amazing.

This should be our national anthem!

Great reaction! You are just a few who actually caught the "fly over" at the end...yes this is one of my all time favorite versions of an already great tribute to the US Military and the sacrifices they make and have made for ALL of our freedom. I honor the memory of "Pops" and how special of a man he was and the fond memories of him will live on long after our lives have ended. Not sure if you reacted to their version of "Brothers in Arms" but it's another awesome tribute to the fallen and just the sheer madness of war in general. I highly reccomend it. Thanks for your passion and tears - As a 72 year old grampa, I'm never afraid to shed a tear on something as touching as this. Good on you my friend! RichieC (Atlanta)

I don't know how, anyone listening to this rendition of this song, can't help but feel emotional. It gives me chills and chokes me up each time I hear it. There is another of their "must listen to" renditions you need to play. Their version of How Great Thou Art. You need to check that one out soon.

So glad the men of Home Free are not afraid to show their patriotism ... sadly , many today equate patriotism with politics and don't truly appreciate the uniqueness of our country !

Patriotism! 💖💖💖❤️

I agree that when you come across some who has been part of the military a thank you for their service lets them know they do mean something to us. My family had grandparents from WW1, parents from WW2, my husband in Vietnam and many other times they have been a part of the service. God Bless them all. This song is amazing. So glad the guys were able to be with Lee Greenwood and the U.S. Airforce Band singing this song so amazingly beautiful and heartfelt. Thank you for the reaction.

That flag is such a treasure. When my late husband was in the Association of United States Army (a veterans organization) and was the assistant president, he organized a special program and had this song playing for part of it. Some of the rest of the program included veterans who had been in the Bataan Death March speaking. Not a dry eye in the house! We celebrate our veterans tomorrow, and our son will fly the flag in our yard in memory of his father. Thank you for your reaction.

Sooo much love.... God Bless the USA!!!!!!!!!!!! And God Bless you Larry.

I may not be an American but I really enjoyed listening to this.

Rest In Peace Pop. My salute to you Sir.

That little jet fly over at the end was courted of Mr Rupp. Best version of this song out there. Brings a tear to my eye every time I listen. Great reaction and wonderful tribute.

You don't have to be American to appreciate the sentiments expressed in this song and enjoy the way it has been sung. I'm born & bred Canadian and I think it's marvelous even though I lack the national pride inherent in it.

Beautiful, heartfelt reaction!!! ❤️ Thank you Pop's, for your service!!! 🙏🏻

All I can say is AWESOME !!!!

Lee Greenwood said this was the first time he was able to sing this song the way he wanted to because someone was able to carry the melody. Home Free doesn't do covers. They do upgrades. And when they collaborate with the original artist (like they did with Don McLean, The Oak Ridge Boys, Kenny Rogers,, and here with Lee Greenwood) they border on the supernatural. They have a way of making the original artist/s sound even better. It's like discovering them all over again.

There's an immediate gravity to the song, in just the first two verses. We're all right there with you. Anyone with human sensibilities will choke up at this. USMC here. I believe this will be my 300th time listening.

I love this. I have 3 sons in the military and my father and great uncles served. I can not hear this song without weeping.

Thank you for a heartfelt response. Too many Americans take our freedom for granted.

I have listened to this about 50 times and cry every time

Ugh 😕 you made me cry 😢 so sorry for your loss. This was a great reaction ❤️❤️❤️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

I love this rendition of a wonderful song. I have family who have served in the military going all the way back to WWl. And in every war since then. Have an uncle who is still MIA. so much patriotic pride in this one for me. My son-in-law served 2 tours in Iraq and he loves when people thank him for his service.....The guys made this song a masterpiece for me. Thank you HomeFree for your love and respect of our veterans and military. Thank you for a very heartfelt reaction. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸

My dad was an Army Medic on the front lines in Korea. This was a wonderful tribute. Thank you!!

I love this beautiful song , sung by so many wonderful people. Your father in law would have loved this song. I am Canadian but I love this song so much.

Yes Sir, you picked a good one to dedicate!!!! Mr Greenwood's original kicked ass and made everyone proud --- for great reason. HF had their cover of it, which was awesome in it's own right and way ......... This ONE, takes the cake!!! Condolences regarding your loss --- Thoughts & Prayers to you and family ... it's tough, very tough. Those "Service" Men & Women who give and have given deserve all the praise and then some; I for one am truly thankful. Under the guise of what is "painted" or the narrative --- they are true to our Country and its People. The "World Stage" however ... Be Safe

Salute to your father...love the flag! My dad was a navy fighter pilot in WWII. We could use a few great men like them right now. Each time I hear this song-the tears flow. We are blessed to live in the US of A!

I have blared this outta my car an hour each way and never got any complaints at all

My dad was WWII veteran in the Navy and he passed away in 1988 he was at Pearl harbor as a clerk when Japan bomb Pearl harbor kid's that don't respect your parents I wish my Dad and Mother were still alive to see what a great job they did with all six of us God Bless U.S.A. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You know, a lot of people claim Pentatonix as their favorite group, as I once did. Then I found Home Free and PTX went to #3 (VoicePlay is #2). HF is a group of good people with great voices. They care about folks (Everybody Walking this Land, Don't Laugh at Me, Save the World, One Voice). They are patriots (Land of the Free is a whole album of love for America, Brothers in Arms, etc.). They believe in God (Go Tell it on the Mountain, Holy Night, Do You Hear What I Hear, etc.). And they know how to have fun (Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer, Full of Cheer, Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget, Butts Remix, etc.). They are so well respected, other musicians ask to sing with them. They respect and love their fans. And they are so generous they take relative unknowns on tour with them for the exposure. What's not to love?

I wish there were more than one like button to push! Love my Dad in heaven who served in the Korean War. 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

Fantastic version, love that active members of our armed forces sang with them. 👏 👏 👏

Such a great tribute. You can be proud of it. Never be ashamed to cry. Let yourself go. For years I did not dare to cry. But 3 years ago I broke down, mentally but also physically. It was like a balloon that burst. Now I cry without being ashamed. Another great collaboration. What beautiful voices from everyone who sings here. And among all those people that one great incredible Adam with his inhumanly good beatboxing/percussion/mouth sounds

Thank you so much for such a wonderful reaction! I am sorry for your family’s loss. Beautiful dedication 🤗❤️

They used to play this before taps every night at basic training..(in the A.F.) we'd all be singing at the top of our lungs. Getting hyped.... b4 9 o'clock lights out.. lol.. .. this was 99' Still gives me chills Unk

This one gets me every time.

A great heartfelt reaction and special tribute to your father-in-law! Hey, let the song blare from your car all you want to, and let the neighbors complain! Maybe some of the "woke" ones will grow some brain cells and actually learn something! GOD BLESS THE USA!!!!!!!!!!!

My brother Gary was a green brea and in Viet Nam war and he was injured, but is ok now had some emotional issues but is going good now. My husband is retired military too. So I am proud of our military.

I have always gotten emotional when I hear this song and now with Greenwood, Home Free, and the Air Force Band it’s even harder to hold back the tears! This song (the original) is played as President Trump enters a Rally!

Thank you for your honest, heartfelt reaction and thank you for recognizing and thanking our military members! Your love and appreciation of their service touches the hearts of those that have/are serving and their families. My husband served 24 years in the Navy and my son served in the Marines, and I couldn’t be more proud!❤ love your reaction and love Home Free!

One of my favorites.

Larry, Thanks to your father-in- law and thank you for loving our country! I have watched your reaction a couple of times because I love experiencing it with you! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Rest safe now Pops. He walks with you everyday Chris. Love ❤ to you and your fsmily

Thank you for this reaction, i am not even an America and i feel American pride whenever i listen to this song..

A masterpiece!!

This one is a Homefree MASTERPIECE!!! Very powerful, emotional, patriotic and so much talent from all !!!

Great heartfelt reaction to this amazing version of Lee Greenwood's song! This was done in 2020 & Lee was about 77 here & his voice was better than ever. Darren Rust, Home Free's producer got Lee to sing the song the way HE wanted to & not how he's had to sing it for decades. The USAF "Singing Sergeants" were also wonderful & of course, Home Free was incredible & Adam killed the percussion & he did the "fly over" at the end! There are just no word to describe this! Please God, bless the USA! Sorry for the loss of your father in law.😊

I love it all! I am amazed how Adam did all of the percussion on this, it sounds like a drumline! Lee and the boys are fantastic, and the Air Force band's look on their faces as they sing this beautiful song is amazing! One of my favorites!

Thanks for sharing this song your feelings and family history. Thank you for your appreciation of service members past and present. We are happy to hear it

Thank you and your family for your father in laws service. God bless ❤

We love you and sorry for your loss!

When you're ready for a tear jerker, watch their official music video for Go Rest High on That Mountain.

I love the phenomenon called " A wall of sound". Very few groups can pull it off. Mostly happens with strong choirs. But.. Home Free and Pentatonix are great examples of the stopping power of that " wall of sound". And there couldn't have been a better song for it. Any red blooded American should tear up hearing these guys. As the family of active military and veteran, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Chris, First of all sorry for your loss. I come from the Netherlands but I carry all soldier in my heart for doing what they do. I know they bring a big offer to their land and family. My good friend did and was send out to war which left him with PTSD. So yes don't take our freedom for granted, thank you all for serving and I salute you all with proud and honor. God bless all nations. BEAUTIFUL SONG, gave me the chills also. Big hug and love

Virtual hugs sent to you 🤗, not American but it makes me feel so patriotic for you, HF are amazing ❤🤍💙

I get chills every time I here this song

What a lovey blend of voices. God Bless you for playing this so soon after your fathers passing. I don't know if I could have held it together it would have been so raw. But Home Free strikes a cord in me so deep, their voices are so great, then you toss in Lee Greenwood in there he makes me cry everytime I hear that song. The the choir was so great. Thanks for playing this, what an awesome tribute!

Shout out to Pop! I always called my grandfather "Pops" before he passed away. He was in the Navy and a Police officer (retired from both) before being a loving father and grandfather. You're emotions spoke to me on a soul to soul level.

vietnam vet. It was a long time coming. So, however trite it might seem, the "thank you for your service?" is welcomed. Friends who deserve it more and have never, will never, hear it. I won't argue right or wrong; but we should all respect those who did what they felt was right with courage and conviction. the freedoms they fought for, and some died for, include religion and convictions that might even be different than those who served. Courage to stand up for your beliefs, resulting in jail time or service time are part of that heritage of freedom.

No shame in a tear for your country and that amazing arrangement....Lee still got the chops...Subscribed👍

This is a SPECTACULAR version of this great song! I loved it. I have a couple of request..."CAN'T STOP THAT FEELING" and "AIN'T GOING DOWN 'TILL THE SUN COMES UP!", which you will have to find on Facebook; for some reason it is not on KZfaq! These are not Country!!! Believe me! You will love them!!! I always love your reactions! With sincere appreciation from a HOME FREE fan's grateful heart! We all love you out here in HOME FREE WORLD! YOU'RE THE BEST!

Thank You Larry !! One of the Very Best reactions I have ever heard. I cried right along with you. My Dad served and came back phsically but not in one piece mentally, now we know and have a name for it. This song should have won a Grammy in the least !!!

Sorry, you and your wife lost Pops! I appreciate his Service! He was a great man. Thanks and BTW my Daddy served 12 years plus a few others in my family.
