(VIDEO) America Should Listen to This Marine Because He Will Send Chills Down Your Spine
|Immense respect for all our military personnel. We owe them our freedom, a debt we can never fully repay, but one we can always show our appreciation for—not just on Memorial or Veteran’s Day, but every day.
This is a truly exceptional rendition of “God Bless America” like none you’ve ever heard before. It’s not just a performance; it’s an experience that will send shivers down your spine with its powerful blend of emotion, pride, and dynamic energy. This video is a reminder of why we hold our military in such high regard.
When I first heard about this singing soldier, I knew he was going to be remarkable, but I didn’t realize just how extraordinary his performance would be. This is one of those rare moments in life that moves you deeply. By the end of his powerhouse performance, you’ll feel an overwhelming sense of pride and an urge to salute this US Marine.
“God Bless America” carries a rich history. Originally written by Irving Berlin as a prayer, it was brought to life in 1938 by Kate Smith, who was the most celebrated female vocalist of her time. Known as the First Lady of Radio, Smith had a career spanning five decades, earning her the title The Songbird of the South for her immense popularity during World War II and her contributions to American culture and patriotism.
Irving Berlin, born Israel Beilin, was an immigrant from Russia who arrived in America at the age of five. By 30, he had written hundreds of songs, many of which became major hits. Over his 60-year career, he composed around 1,500 songs, including scores for 20 Broadway plays and 15 Hollywood films, with his works earning multiple Academy Award nominations. Knowing his backstory makes “God Bless America” even more poignant.
Watch the video below and feel the pride and electric energy radiating from this Marine. Look out for the incredible moment at 1:48—it will make you want to stand up. God Bless America, indeed… and AMEN.
