I have lived the American dream. I’m a farm kid from Sacramento and I’ve worked hard my entire life.

"In 1983, I wrote a song from my heart that was a love letter to the nation I love so much. As it would turn out, that song also resonated with a lot of my fellow Americans. As the writer and performer of God Bless The USA, I have been honored to perform for our US military all over the world, as well as our veterans and several US Presidents. I have been blessed."
