As the CMA Awards prepare to celebrate their 50th year, the stars are eager to join in on the celebration.

Country stars share their memories of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

We love you, America!

Country music and patriotism have always gone hand in hand.

Country music is as American as football / apple pie / insert-any-other-cliche-phrase-here, so it makes sense that, from time to time, the genre's artists would don some patriotic clothing.

Lee Greenwood is perhaps best known for his powerful song 'God Bless the USA,' but when he penned the lyrics in the back of his tour bus in 1983, he likely had no idea that they would become a mantra sung at sports events and patriotic celebrations across the nation for decades to come.

Did you know that on this day in Country Music History in 1986 Lee Greenwood performed "God Bless The U.S.A." in the New York Harbor as the Queen Elizabeth II arrived from England to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty?

Did you know that on this day in Country Music History in 1984 MCA released Lee Greenwood's "God Bless The U.S.A?"

On this day in 1986, Lee Greenwood had the No.1 country song in the nation with “Hearts Aren’t Made to Break (They’re Made to Love).”  It was Greenwood’s sixth song to reach the top and can be found on his album Streamline.
