What are your favourite Patriotic songs? - Marine Corps Community for USMC Marine Veterans

Hi everyone!

In preparation for Independence Day, I'm going to assemble a patriotic music playlist (boy do I love the internet, lol). Anyway, I'd love to hear you guys' suggestions? Track order is important as well, and if you have a favourite rendition of a song by a particular artist, list that as well

I'm aiming for anywhere between 10-20 songs.
I love living in the UK, where you feel like an underdog when you're american, it makes these kinds of songs especially inspiring

So far, I've found a good reading of the pledge of allegiance and Declaration of Independence, and of course some essentials like the National Anthem, amazing grace, God Bless the USA (lee greenwood

) and 'This land is our land' (pete seeger).
Can't wait to hear your thoughts...

Whitney Houston's version of the National Anthemn that she did at some baseball game or something a few years back and (they're not your typical patriotic songs) Born In the USA by Bruce Springsteen and Red, White and Blue by Lynard Skynard.
