I've yet to hear this song and not to shed tears...how can you not? Politicians are cowards and fools...but soldiers are not. Feel their sacrifice and hold their families dear.

father , Bless those in the room and give healing to those that need your touch

I love this Performance

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!! BEST SONG EVER!!!!! THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SERVE

An after effect of the draft: a larger numbers of Americans understood the true costs of war or the true needs for defense. This song touches the intimate family costs of defense more so than any of the "Johnny Get Your Gun" songs. These costs will make you cry.

One of my favs!!

Great version...I love her brother(Darren's version) as well

I had to add this performance to my permanent music archive, because Aaron McDaris's banjo playing throughout adds a magical element missing on the "All American Bluegrass Girl" version.

This brought tears to the eyes of this old army brat who saw his dad off to Vietnam in 1969.

Beautiful song but sad
