We've all had those songs that trigger tons of emotion in our hearts and drive extreme pride in our cause. &nbsp;Which song does that for you?<div>I'm going to have to say Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American" is often overplayed, so let's leave that one out of the responses...</div>

Taps, I say that because it will always jerk a tear from someone who hears it regardless if they know the person it is being played for, and I especially like the way it originated.<br>

Well, I am going to go with our National Anthem. I love morning colors, it gets my heart pumping. Not to get completely off track, but, it really pisses me off to hear about younger troops running to get inside before colors so they aren't outside and have to render honors.

I do agree with SSG Broadbent about Taps.
