I love country music, partly because of...THANK YOU! I love country music, partly because of its patriotic themes. Country music has some main themes: God, women, beer, and America. <br />One of Rodney Atkins' newer songs is called "It's America", and Zac Brown Band's "Chicken Fried" has a verse that says "I thank God for my life/ And for the stars and stripes/ May freedom forever fly, let it ring./ Salute the ones who died/ The ones that give their lives so we don`t have to sacrifice/ All the things we love/Like our chicken fried" <br />I experienced an amazing moment this past fall that I will never forget. A friend of mine was being deployed to Afghanistan, and a going away party was thrown for him. About 10 of the guys there were ROTC members. "Chicken Fried" came on and at the verse that salutes the troops one of the ROTC boys yelled so everyone would be quiet and everyone at the party (probably upwards of 50) quieted down and honored the soldiers both at the party and across the country. It truly touched my heart and that song will always have a special meaning in my heart. <br />Country music truly tells the tale of hard working Americans who want nothing but to live a happy life . Obama needs to hear the songs to understand what America really is. <br /><br />God Bless<br />LauraUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18438947787643193116noreply@blogger.com
