This version of the national anthem by the incomparable Whitney Houston is my favorite rendition.
“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it.” — Abraham Lincoln [Source]
I also don’t know when I first heard Lee Greenwood sing his now famous patriotic song God Bless the USA, but it seared its call to love my country in ways I cannot properly explain.
Have a happy Fourth of July!
