35th Annual Book Fair & Author’s Night
Follows up with TODAY Show performance
of “God Bless The USA” to celebrate
the naturalization of newest US citizens
Nashville,
Tenn. (November 12, 2012) — Multi-platinum country star and true
American Patriot, Lee Greenwood, will be joining more than 90 nationally
known authors at the National Press Club’s 35th Annual Book Fair &
Authors’ Night on Tuesday, November 13, 2012. Greenwood will be
signing copies of his new book, “Does God Still Bless the U.S.A.? A Plea
for a Better America” – his latest offering of personal insights into
America’s challenges and her future. The Book Fair & Authors’ Night
benefits the non-profit National Press Club Journalism Institute, which
provides college scholarships, training for journalists and awards for
excellence in journalism. The NPC is partnering again this year with
The SEED Foundation, which helps prepare underserved students for
college success at public boarding schools in the District of Columbia
and Maryland.
Greenwood will appear on the TODAY Show Friday, November 16 where he
will take a special role in the lives of 25 people as he participates in
their naturalization ceremony to become United States citizens.
Perfectly fitting to the occasion, he will perform “God Bless The USA”.
The patriotic anthem, which turns 30 next year, went far beyond what
Greenwood expected when he wrote the song in the back of his tour bus in
1983. Greenwood says; “USA is the song I always felt the need to
write. I wanted to have something that would unite Americans from coast
to coast. I wanted to instill pride back in the United States. The song
represents my family, my community and those men & women who have
paid the price for the freedoms we all love & enjoy.”
