Lee Greenwood – Music icon, patriot, philanthropist.

Lee is a tireless performer and continues to pay it forward at every juncture. He is best known for his CMA Song of the Year from 1985 “God Bless the USA”. Lee is an icon in country music, with more than 30 albums to his credit. Lee has won numerous industry awards including, Male Vocalist of the year for the Academy of Country Music in 1983, two Male Vocalist of the Year awards from the Country Music Association, 1983 & 1984 and a Grammy for Top Male Vocal Performance in 1985 for “I.O.U.”.

The song, “God Bless the USA” has been voted the most recognizable patriotic song in America. Lee knows first-hand what it’s like to have loved ones fighting for the freedom of all Americans as his father served in the Navy and the Merchant Marine in World War II. “USA” is now part of the film for Homeland Security shown when swearing in new citizens to the United States.

Lee has been an ardent supporter of Helping a Hero and has been a part of many Welcome Home ceremonies for our brave and courageous wounded warriors. There is no doubt that Lee’s passion for America, our military, our veterans, and our wounded warriors runs deep.

Lee and his wife, Kimberly, a former Miss Tennessee, fell in love on his 1989 USO Tour. They have two sons, Dalton and Parker and make their home in Franklin, TN. He recently published a children’s book featuring the lyrics and amazing illustrations from “God Bless the USA.”
