Patriot, Lee Greenwood, offers his personal insights into America’s
challenges and her future in his inspiring new book, “Does God Still Bless the U.S.A.? A Plea for a Better America”

“This is the first time I’ve put pen to paper, and I’m very proud of
our work,” commented Greenwood who co-wrote his book with biblical
scholar, Rita Tate. “This publication is a request for unity. It took us
a year to write, and I hope that it awakens this country’s sleeping
patriots.”

Glowing endorsements for “Does God Still Bless the U.S.A.? A Plea for a
Better America,” include President George W. Bush, Charlie Daniels,
Reba McEntire, Michael W. Smith, Sean Hannity, Chuck Norris, and
others.  President George W. Bush commented, “Barbara and I are very
happy that you have written a book issuing ‘A Plea for a Better
America.’ Who Better! You are an American icon, known and loved not only
for the joy your music brought to millions, but for your love of
country and your unwavering support for our men and women in uniform.”

A dedicated supporter of the U.S. military, Greenwood calls for
citizens to embrace an authentic patriotism, and return to faith and the
founding principles that have proven to be the strength of our
civilization in his new book. Throughout the publication, Greenwood
raises thought-provoking questions and asks us all to consider our part
in maintaining our ‘sweet land of liberty’ for future generations.

Few artists have ever written a song that has become more a part of
America’s cultural landscape than Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.”
“God Bless the U.S.A” has been voted the most recognizable patriotic
song in America, taking the top honor over “God Bless America” and the
“National Anthem,” but it is only one of the many hits that have
propelled Greenwood’s successful career. With his distinctive voice,
insightful songwriting and unparalleled showmanship, Greenwood has been
captivating audiences for decades.

This June, Greenwood will also release a new seven-track EP entitled,
“I Want to Be in Your World,” which will include the original track,
“Here Comes Love, There Goes My Heart,” as well as a cover of the
popular Michael McDonald/Kenny Loggins ballad, “You Can Let Go Know.”

A Presidential Appointee serving on The National Endowment for the Arts
Council, Greenwood was honored with the prestigious National Patriot’s
Award, presented by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society.  Greenwood
is also a national spokesperson for Operation Never Forgotten (ONF), an
all-volunteer national non-profit communications service that connects
military and civilian worlds through non-partisan public service
announcements (PSAs). He has also entertained the troops on more than 30
USO tours over the years.
