The special was recorded in Huntsville, Alabama, and this marks the first time it has been made available to stream.
“Lee Greenwood is a quintessential part of celebrating our beloved nation’s birthday. Lee’s anthem ‘God Bless the U.S.A.’ has united generations of Americans, and there is no better way to honor the spirit of July 4 than with the voice behind the anthem who continues to inspire pride in our country and gratitude for our freedoms,” said Great American Media CEO and President Bill Abbott in a statement. “As America 250 approaches, families are craving the traditions and faith that anchor us – Judeo-Christian values of love, unity, and service. These roots shape the kinds of entertainment we make at Great American, calling for conversations that celebrate our shared heritage and uplift the human spirit.”
For subscribers who want to go behind the scenes with Greenwood, Great American Pure Flix is hosting an “Exclusive Conversation,” hosted by Abbott for the platform’s premium subscribers, also on July 3. Check out Pure Flix subscriber options here.
