Johnny Cash "Ragged Old Flag"

One more patriotic song for this Independence Day and the 241st birthday of the United States of America.  Johnny Cash's "Ragged Old Flag" is another appropriate musical tribute.

Lee Greenwood "God Bless The USA"

For your Independence Day, yours truly will share a favorite patriotic song, that was only written, about 30 some odd years ago, but is sure a part of the American musical landscape, and shows what our country is all about.  Happy 241st Birthday, United States of America.  As the title of Lee Greenwood's song says "God Bless The USA".
