John Denver performed at the Heartland Heroes Victory Celebration in Omaha, Nebraska on 7/3/1991. He was part of an evening arranged to welcome home our trips following the end of Operation Desert Storm. I was there that evening to welcome home my brother-in-law, Sgt. Tim Locatis. The USAF Startegic Arms Band performed back up for John. It was a magical evening.

John's interpretation of this song was actually totally different than some might interpret it to be here. John was an anti-war liberal kind of guy. When he sang about the USA, he was singing about the same kind of USA that people like Peter, Paul, & Mary were singing about.

I remember being a flag girl on my high school squad and dancing to this. Loved John Denver with his patriotic songs!! Sad the way the times have changed where no one respects the USA anymore. I hate to hear the public of the USA talk bad about the USA. Its funny how they can say all that while on the soil of the USA. But, that's freedom of speech for ya. Put them in another country (with strict rules) and they will be singing another tune. The USA is not perfect (no country is), but I love my country and wouldn't have it no other way. Sincerely, military brat :-)

I always thought that he got flustered when he jumped the gun on his timing of the lyrics and stuttered a bit, but you are spot on about your view. .

Easy, as wonderful as this country is, she is not perfect and there are many incidences in her past that need forgiving.

I love John Denver's voice...so pure and beautiful. Great to hear him singing this Lee Greenwood song. (Much of the music I write draws inspiration from John's style and songwriting talent.) I couldn't help notice, however, that when he gets to the final chorus (around 2:40 into the song) he changes a lyric..."and I'll gladly stand up next to you and FORGIVE HER..." What's with THAT?

I have to agree with you. His voice is so rich, genuine and full of emotion. I am with you of John's thoughts of the current political situation. He would be very strong at making those statements about "the right thing to do" in a very concise way, just as he always has. Thanks for stopping by.
