Keep in mind that Lee Greenwood is currently 81 years old! I think he sounds better than ever.
I must agree.
Our Canadian brothers and sisters have made sacrifices besides our American heroes since 1815. Feel free to use our holidays of remembrance and appreciation to also give your thanks to your own armed forces :)
Memorial Day is remembering all military members who died fighting for our freedom. Too many forget that!
I agred!!
agree, oops
Yes. Veterans Day is in November. Memorial Day (May) is for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Lee Greenwood wrote this song, it was a big hit for him back in the 80s.
Not SORRY, we play it LOUD AND PROUD!!! Any time we want!!! Proud AMericans!!
Same!!!
I'm a 76 yr. old disabled Vietnam vet who's Uncle was a B-26 pilot shot down over Paris before D-Day & died. Thank you for this tribute on Memorial Day!
Thank you and your Uncle for your service
Thank you for honoring our country on this Memorial Day with this heartwarming spiritual song. I'm a 72 year old Army veteran and still get leaking eyeballs whenever I listen to this song!
The woman who sings "from Detroit down to Houston" - what a voice!
Hi guys. Just an FYI. Memorial Day in US is to recognize those who have died during their service. Great channel.
Lee Greenwood has been singing this song for at least the last couple of decades every fourth of July. I always look forward to hearing it.
Damn it. I cry every time I hear that. Always gets me deep in the feels.
I do to
Thank you my Canadian brother and sister. Long live freedom.
I am not even American and the lyrics to this song just hit 🔥
Goosebumps 🤩
Lee Greenwood wrote this!!!
Beautiful song!!!
Still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!!!
Austin hasn't left yet, he will be with them until fall. He is definitely going to be missed
Thank you so much from America. God bless you both!
So glad to be an AMERICAN! We have our troubles but we are still the best country in the world.
😮.
#HOMEFREE.....so good!
as a proud American I cry every time I hear this song, and this version is BEAUTIFUL!
Lee wrote this song back in 1984! He was 78 years old when he sang this performance! I loved how we added more lyrics about please god please bless the USA! If there was ever a time we needed to be united as a nation it is right now! Thanks for reacting to this song
My Internet disconnected… We appreciate our neighbors to the north! I just heard the entire story of the 39 planes that were landed in Gander, Newfoundland I’m a day New York City was attacked! This was the first time I heard the entire story about operation yellow ribbon! The kindness and caring that were sold to the 6000 stranger that landed in your country is amazing! And such a sad moment was so nice to see how many good people reach out when needed!! So thank you Canada for taking care of all those people when you didn’t have to!!💕

This was AMAZING. They even did this during Lockdown
This was recorded during covid. That's why they're spread across the country.
Bad ass song....that is all.
Remembering my brother in-law killed in Quang tri province April 1968. Only 19 years old. Remember PFC Melvin Dolby. As long as he is remembered he will never be gone.
I've heard this at LEAST 30 times, and I'm STILL sitting here with tears streaming. Wow. Thanks for doing this on Memorial Day. As a Veteran, it means a lot. Respect. This performance is spectacular! Great selection, great reaction!!
I saw Lee greenwood sing this before a chiefs game. Pretty cool
This song always brings tears. I'm just an old guy that enlisted oh so many years ago.
Great choice 🇺🇲
Lee Greenwood said that this was his favorite version ever
Love Lee and HF!! God bless the USA
Thanks for reacting to this song. We like our neighbors to the north!
Leave it to Home Free to make a great song even better.
Everything like this today is making me cry-
Love this. It was during Covid so that’s why they weren’t all together. Lee sounded great for 77! Loved the Air Force band and of course HF killed it. Good one!
Austin will be leaving in the late fall. Hate to see him go but it is his wish to start a family life. He will still be doing some things, especially with Tim who lives nearby.
They've said Austin will be with them until they start their Christmas tour. Fans think his last appearance with them will maybe be in October. They are going to pick up a new singer. They've been emphatic about that. Might already have him chosen and practicing with them, behind the scenes.
Home Free in some iteration has been going for 23 years or so. Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, is the only original member left. They know how to pick up the pieces and carry on.
Best version ❤❤
Another strong collaboration this time with Lee Greenwood and the US Airforce Band. Just oozes with patriotism. Home Free is one of the leading vocal groups that stand up patriotically with numerous releases of songs celebrating our military and our Freedoms here in the United States!!! They tug at our hearts with music that exudes our support and our pride in being leader of the Free World. Thank you Home Free!!!❣
I just wanna say, thank you to our veterans because I wouldn't be here if it weren't for them. My parents came from marshall islands and came here so me and my siblings can have a better life. I'm proud to be an american 🇺🇸🦅
Thank you! My favorite version!
I remember the first times hearing this song after I joined the Army back in 1986. It’s a very old song, and a very beautiful song.
Memorial Day is one of three distinctly different U.S. holidays honoring those who serve or served in the American military:
1. Armed Forces Day (the third Saturday in May) honors all who are currently in uniform.
2. Veterans Day (the 11th day of the 11th month; originally called Armistice Day) honors those who took off the uniform after serving.
3. Memorial Day (the last Monday in May) honors those who died in uniform.
Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day began in 1868 as a day of mourning and remembrance for hundreds of thousands who were killed in the U.S. Civil War.
I remember when this song initially came out! Can't believe how long it's been. My daughter actually did a gymnastic routine using it. Complete with her red, white, & blue leotard and a salute at the end. 👍🇺🇸 She's now in her 40s! 😳 Wow! Time flies.
Lee's voice is amazing! Be was almost 80 when they did this. The addition of the US Air Force "Singing Sergeants" was just the right touch. This was done during lockdowns, by the way, with everybody in different studios around the country.
Interesting trivia tidbit: The part where they're singing place names, starting with "From the lakes of Minnesota...", every place named had a person from that place singing each line! Ex: Rob is from Minnesota. Tim is from "across the plains of Texas", etc. When Chance sings, "From sea to shining sea", it's because he was born & raised in Alabama & Florida, but now lives in California. Home Free always puts little touches like that in their videos & songs. To me, it sets them apart! ❤
Those are the Air Force Singing Sergeants. Adam Rupp's drumming is phenomenal in this one. Including the flyover sound at the end.
This was done during the pandemic and each singer was in a different town.
He hasn't left yet
YEAH TOUTES BROTHER WAEPON STEF J'ESPÈRE TOUS FILE GOOD
😊
Rememberance Day (November 11) is the result of World War 1, remembering those veterans and those who died. It's Veterans Day in the US, commemorating all veterans. Memorial Day initially got started in remembering those who died during the American Civil War (1861-1865). It later became a day to honor all vets who died. In many places, we also honor our dead relatives. And there are those who look at the holiday as the summer kickoff. Thanks for honoring our holiday.
Does anyone know why this day is held on November 11? The armistice ending WWI was signed at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Interesting.
From the # 7 child of a WWII honored VET!!!! Thank You.. I Appreciate you showing this... GOD BLESS..
Two thumbs up. To you two.
Nobody I know would disparage anybody for playing this song or anything else patriotic.
If I lived somewhere where people felt that way about the U.S.A. I would move.
I wish I could blare this song from my car
Thank of thinking of us south of the border. Love you guys
Also Canadian and LOVE this song and especially this version, sung to perfection!
In addition to the other collabs mentioned with women, an often overlooked but fun video is Meant To Be feat. Lisa Cimorelli - it's well worth a reaction.
#HomeFree never disappoints.
Free USA!🇺🇲
God bless America, God bless military
made me cry
This is so very awesome! Lee Greenwood sounds so good. Home Free as usual is their usual awesome selves. Love your reactions!
My dad used to sing this song! ❤
He hasn't left yet
He will be with them until fall
Lee Greenwood wrote and recorded this in 1984. This is such a great song and a great rendition of it. He is now 81.
This became a very popular song for Lee Greenwood after 911
This was originally a hit in the 80's for Lee. It got a second life (although it was always popular, esp among the military) after 9/11.
This was a special one. I love the collaboration on this wonderful song. ❤️
All done during quarantine!
This was an awesome way to pay homage to the vets not just American but our little brother Canadian vets who fight side by side with the USA.
Amazing version of this patriotic song ❤❤
Lee Greenwood wrote this song and released it in 1984 .
This was done during the pandemic that’s why everyone is separated.
Home Free has done a couple of songs with female vocalist
To The Moon And Back ft Maggie Baugh
Delta Dawn ft Brooke Eden
Austin isn’t leaving the group until the fall .
Home Free just released Vincent ft Don McLean
And that song with the male & female singers from Australia
@@Rkbmomma oh yeah The Horses I forgot about that
❤🤠#HomeFree. Beautiful. Great reaction. 🏠🍟
Thank you guys for doing this song
Fun fact The fly over that you hear at the end is none other than the amazing Adam Rupp
Thanks guys!
Such a beautiful collab!! Love. Home Free!❤❤ Austin hasn’t left yet, A little more time still, I don’t believe a time has been decided.
Thanks guys!!!❤❤❤❤
They played this song at our Air Force basic training graduation when we received our Airman Coin signifying us becoming United States Airmen. This song playing, our families (who we haven't seen in 8 weeks) cheering us on, man it was hard holding back the tears. This song will always remind me of that day.
I saw Lee live on our military base on the 4th of July one year and it was super emotional and moving.Lee still sounds AMAZING!!! This is my favorite patriotic song ever.and this version is literally the BEST VERSION I’ve ever been lucky enough to hear!so many talented voices singing together beautifully and in harmony.😄this is a Lee Greenwood original.he is fantastic!! And Home Free and the Armed force vocals are beyond inspiring.thanks for this.🎶🇺🇸❤️✌🏻
You should have included Billy Joels song "Saigon". It will make you cry buckets.
Just wanted to mention the military members are members of the USAF Singing Sergeants. They travel to military bases all over the world performing with the USAF Band. Believe it or not, that is their job!
This was recorded during covid lockdown. Lee, Austin and Tim in a studio in Nashville, Rob & Adam and I think Darren (producer) in Darren's studio in MN, Chance in Cali, and the Singing Sargents (USAF) in D.C. Also, the first time they are highlighted the soloists are singing about their hometown (Detroit...).
Thank you for this.
Take Lee Greenwood, add Home Free, mix them all together with the United States Air Force Singing Sargeants and you've got a beautiful combination. Lee still sounds as good as he did back in the 80s when he first recorded this song.
THANYOU MISTER CRE YES POUR SACRIFIANT OUPPP YOU SERVICE STEF AUSSI THANYOU
They were all in different places while recording due to Covid. Lee Greenwood invited Home Free to join him on his project.HE did the arrangement.
Austin hadn't left yet, he is leaving in the fall. Can't imagine Home Free without him. He got married and wants to be closer to home and to start a family.
Lee Greenwood sang this song at the World Series in New York City a little over a month after 9/11.
If you notice, this version was done in at least four different studios; due to being recorded during the Covid era. Not sure if they were all singing at the same time or if they edited it together from different times.
There is an older official video of just Lee Greenwood singing. Absolutely love this song regardless of what version.
Fantastic harmonies!
Thank you! 😊❤
Salute from the States! Great channel keep up the good work!
Perfection!
☘️🇺🇲
I personally prefer the original Lee Greenwood version and the original Home Free cover of this song more than this version, but that's just me. The original version gives me chills. This version makes me smile.
Thank you for sharing and reacting to this. God bless!
❤❤❤
You don't have to be American to appreciate the sentiment & patriotism of the song (I'm also Canadian). And Lee Greenwood still sounds terrific! Home Free are the perfect collaborators - always ensuring the artist has the spotlight and respecting that artist's vision for their song. I'm sure that Adam Bastien will be a great addition to HF but Austin is gonna be a tough act for him to follow.
Watch operation YELLOW RIBBON it's the story of the town of gander Newfoundland. Canadas role in 9/11 it's wonderful showing how a small town helped so many people.
Perfect song for Memorial Day, which is not "celebrated" because we are remembering those that paid the ultimate price in defending our freedoms.
Huh? No one is going to stop someone from singing this.
Home Free released a video for God Bless the USA in 2016. It was just the five of them with Mt. Rushmore in the background. Apparently Lee Greenwood saw this and invited them to record a new one with him. This one was released in July 2020 and was recorded from 4 different spots; Washington DC and the 3 cities around the country where the guys live. If this is the first time you've heard Home Free performing with women please check out From Here to the Moon and Back ft. Maggie Baugh who accompanies them on fiddle. They also did the 1970s super hit Delta Dawn. Their official video was performed with Brooke Eden and the concert version with Maggie Baugh. The live performance with Maggie was at the Majestic Theater in Dallas, TX, New Year's Eve 2022, with the official version posted about 4 months later. Both videos are amazing and the ladies sound fantastic with our five guys.
❤️❤️
Yes!! WE are blessed to be Americans, and our neighbors to the North!! Thanks SO much for helping celebrate every member of our Military forces, those alive and especially those who gave their lives for our freedom!!
🇺🇲
If you really want to hear a woman sing with Home Free I recommend "Delta Dawn". Home Free and Brooke Eden are outstanding..
Crazy how this song came out in 1984 but didnt know about it until after 9/11
Great reaction, guys!
