Lee Greenwood Celebrates Independence Day Weekend With Appearances On Fox & Friends, NBCLX & More!
Performs on PBS’s Ray Stevens CabaRay and TBN’s Independence Day Weekend Celebration with The Oak Ridge Boys & Governor Mike Huckabee
As Americans celebrated Independence Day, Lee Greenwood, America’s most recognized patriotic ambassador, shared his appreciation by making several national appearances including Fox & Friends, NBCLX, Ray Stevens CabaRay Nashville airing on PBS, and TBN’s Independence Day Weekend Celebration hosted by The Oak Ridge Boys and Governor Mike Huckabee, with Nicole C. Mullen.
“Independence Day is a special day for all Americans,” says Greenwood. “It’s always an honor to perform ‘God Bless The U.S.A.’ anywhere that Americans will hear it. The song was written to unite all Americans and bring hope and courage during times of crisis. I have recently rerecorded the song with Home Free and the United States Air Force Band and Singers just in time for this year’s July 4th celebration. It’s an exciting new take on my legendary song and like you’ve never heard it before.”
Recently announced, as part of the Excellence In Education Online Home School Supply Catalog, Greenwood’s children’s book 'Proud To Be An American' will be included as a special category focusing on patriotism. Also available on Greenwood’s website are specially designed patriotic 'Proud To Be An American' and “God Bless The USA” t-shirts and hoodies. These items feature Greenwood’s signature lyrics on the front and back and are available to purchase just in time for Independence Day and Veteran’s Day!
