Lee Greenwood’s powerful ballad moved millions to tears during the World Series following the September 11th Terrorist Attacks in 2001.

In a patriotic jacket, Lee Greenwood walked onto the field and delivered an unmatched performance in Yankee Stadium.

Singing his best-known single, “God Bless The USA,” Greenwood will give you goosebumps in this heart-wrenching tribute to America in honor of the lives lost. Seeing as he performed this on October 31, 2001, just 50 days after the September 11th attacks, at Yankee Stadium made this moment even more chilling. This is a MUST-WATCH performance for every patriotic American.

For many years, Greenwood dreamed of writing a song about his pride in being an American. At the time, he was on the road 300 days out of the year with his label mates George Strait, Reba McEntire, The Oak Ridge Boys, and Barbara Mandrell.

Finally, he “wrote it one night in between Arkansas and Texas” on the tour bus, he told Country Rebel.

At this point in his career, he was known for country love ballads, and he and his label took a chance to include it on his 1984 album You’ve Got A Good Love Comin’.
