The iconic voice behind "God Bless the U.S.A." recently shared his thoughts on the enduring popularity of his patriotic anthem, his relationship with former President Donald Trump, and the importance of instilling patriotism from a young age.

Lee Greenwood, in an interview, reflected on the consistent appreciation for his 1984 hit, noting how it's passed down through generations. He recounted seeing numerous videos of young children singing along and waving American flags, emphasizing that patriotism begins in childhood, just as it did for him.

Greenwood's experience as a high school drum major played a significant role in shaping his appreciation for his country. He believes this early exposure to the flag and its symbolism, combined with a later understanding of the sacrifices made by the U.S. military, fosters a deep sense of pride.

The singer also discussed his association with Donald Trump, who frequently used "God Bless the U.S.A." at campaign rallies and events. Greenwood recalled performing the song at the Republican National Convention and expressed his admiration for Trump's patriotism. He clarified that he wasn't paid for these performances, emphasizing his desire to honor Trump and unite the country through his music.

Drawing parallels to the conservative movement of the 1980s under President Reagan, Greenwood sensed a similar resurgence during Trump's presidency. He also mentioned athletes celebrating with the "Trump dance," further highlighting the political climate at the time.

Finally, Greenwood spoke about his faith and directed fans to a new version of the King James Bible available on GodBlesstheUSABible.com.
