Every single member of our armed forces deserves an enormous amount of respect. They have protected our liberty, which is a debt that we will never be able to completely repay, but because of them, we are able to express our thanks in a straightforward manner, not just on Memorial Day or Veterans Day, but on each and every day.

When I initially learned about this singing soldier, I had a sense that he was going to be outstanding; yet, I did not think that he would be extraordinary to the extent that he really was. It is a rare occurrence in life to have the opportunity to experience anything as deeply emotional as this, and it often only happens once or twice. At the conclusion of his outstanding performance, you will feel compelled to give this United States Marine a salute and ask for his handshake. Additionally, there is no question that you will have an overwhelming feeling of pride for our nation.
In terms of its historical relevance, “God Bless America” is of great importance. Irving Berlin had first conceived of it as a prayer, but it was not until 1938 that the legendary Kate Smith gave a performance of it that it was transformed into a song. She was known as the “First Lady of Radio,” and she had a career that included radio, television, and recording. Her career reached its pinnacle in the 1940s. For those who are not aware with this exceptional character, she was bestowed with this title. As a result of her contributions to American culture and patriotism, as well as her continuing popularity throughout World War II, she was given the moniker of “The Songbird of the South.”
The incredible history of Irving Berlin, who is connected with the song itself, is also a very interesting fact. He was born in Russia under the name “Israel Beilin,” and he moved to the United States when he was five years old. After reaching the age of 30, he had already written hundreds of songs, several of which went on to become classics that topped the charts. Over the course of his remarkable career that spanned sixty years, he composed an estimated one thousand five hundred songs, which included works for both Broadway shows and Hollywood films. As a result of his efforts, he was nominated for eight Academy Awards. It is my belief that gaining an understanding of the laborious and fruitful path that this American symbol has taken gives an additional dimension of meaning to the phrase “God Bless America.”
