My post was meant to be patriotic not political .... I've posted 29 times in 10 years, now I remember why.... should have left it at 28!

dc,
I think YouTube messed up your intent. I'm not sure why but the 1st time I clicked on it I got a very partisan misleading attack add that I didn't see anything labeling it as an add. When I clicked back to the forum the responses didn't surprise me. This time I was greeted by an add that was also political and not labeled as an add, but it was targeted at my Illinois local and I watched thru it and the 2nd political (unlabeled) add that followed. It was only after that that I was able to watch and hear the inspirational song you had intended for us.
Sorry I misunderstood.. like so much of the anger going around today, blame it, at least in part, on social media.

Re: God Bless the USA
Thank you Denny for the beautiful song. Certainly nothing political about the song. I am not sure about others, but it was pretty clear on my end it was a YouTube song. Ads can be skipped fairly easy. What ashame the trolls had to show up.

Re: God Bless the USA
Semper Fi Denny – Great new version of a wonderful song. Sadly in early 21st century America the line “God bless the USA” is in fact controversial for some. As of the current moment the election outcome suggests we will be hearing the song much less often on national TV.
