Patriotic Songs of America
During the month of September, the First through Fifth grades will learn interesting facts about some patriotic songs of the United States of America. Our nation's greatest patriotic songs express the hopes, desires and pride of the American people. This is a good month to remember and sing patriotic songs because of Constitution Day, the remembrance of the tragedy on September 11, and now this tragedy in the Gulf region of the country. It makes me feel good when I sing patriotic songs because it causes me to think about where I live, how beautiful and diverse the country is, and how blessed I am to have been born here. I think my favorite patriotic song is "America, the Beautiful." The author of the lyrics wrote, "and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea." What do you think that means? And what's your favorite patriotic song?
The songs we are learnig sre fun I hope we laern more songs like this because I want to learn more songs like that.

My favorite patriotic song is "My America". You can hear a 2007 version (as well as a 2004 version) at myamericathesong.com. This song is not only a song, it is a pledge to "do my part" to keep America strong and free.

I like that Americans are still writing songs to express their feelings of patriotism.
A 77-Year "young" woman in Florida recently wrote a couple of songs "American Hero" and "Answer The Call" in reaction to the Iraq war.
She sells mp3 downloads of many of her songs (which she has recorded by professionals) to raise money for severely wounded soldiers.
Her story and music can be found at:
