(VIDEO) America Should Listen to This Marine Because He Will Send Chills Down Your Spine
|Immense respect to all our military personnel. We owe them our freedom — a debt we can never fully repay — but one we can always honor with gratitude, not just on Memorial Day or Veterans Day, but every single day.
This is a truly exceptional rendition of “God Bless America” — unlike anything you’ve ever heard before. It’s more than just a performance; it’s an experience that will send shivers down your spine with its powerful blend of emotion, pride, and pure energy. This video is a moving reminder of why we hold our military heroes in such high regard.
When I first heard about this singing soldier, I expected something special — but I had no idea just how extraordinary his performance would be. This is one of those rare moments that stirs your soul. By the time his powerhouse performance ends, you’ll feel a surge of pride and an undeniable urge to stand and salute this brave U.S. Marine.
“God Bless America” itself has a remarkable history. Written by Irving Berlin as a heartfelt prayer, the song was made famous in 1938 by Kate Smith — the most celebrated female vocalist of her time. Known as the First Lady of Radio, Smith’s voice became a symbol of hope and patriotism, especially during World War II, earning her the nickname The Songbird of the South.
Irving Berlin, born Israel Beilin, was an immigrant from Russia who arrived in America at age five. By 30, he had written hundreds of songs, many of which became beloved classics. Over his extraordinary 60-year career, Berlin composed around 1,500 songs, scored 20 Broadway shows and 15 Hollywood films, and earned multiple Academy Award nominations. Knowing his immigrant journey only makes “God Bless America” even more profound.
Now, take a moment, watch the video below, and let the pride and electric energy of this Marine’s performance wash over you. And when you reach the incredible moment at 1:48 — trust me — you’ll want to stand up.
God Bless America… and AMEN.
Awesome!
