We've all had those songs that trigger tons of emotion in our hearts and drive extreme pride in our cause. 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>

Team America World Police Theme Song.
In all honesty, our National Anthem. The Star-Spangled Banner. Hey, it could've been God Save the Queen had we not declared our independence.

I personally think Daryll Worley's "Have you Forgotten" or "I Just Came Back From a War" take the cake for me.

Aw man, recently, Garth Brooks came out with his first album in over a decade and there's a beautiful track on there you all must listen to! It gets me every time; takes ya away.
http://www.garthbrooks.com/music/man-against-machine/
Album: Man Against Machine
Track: All-American Kid
Was the captain of the team his senior year
In his eyes on his helmet he had no fear
Down by six, ball on the ten
Said, "Huddle up, boys, we’ve got a game to win."
He snapped the ball, he looked left and right
Nobody was open so he tucked in tight
And with four of them boys hanging on to him
The clock ran out as he ran it in
And the whole town cheered
And his mama cried
And they rushed down field
And they raised him high
Got his picture in the paper and the headline read "All-American Comeback Kid"
He was recruited by the best schools in the land
He decided he would sign with his Uncle Sam
Kissed his mama goodbye in their living room
Said, "Dad, don’t worry, I’ll be home soon."
And the whole town cheered
And his mama cried
And they lined the street
Just to say goodbye
Got his picture in the paper and the headline read "Come Back All-American Kid"
Three tours of duty
And a silver star
Brought him back home with his battle scars
He stepped off the plane
In his combat boots
He saluted the red, the white and blue
And the whole town cheered
And his mama cried
Another hometown boy
Made it home alive
Got his picture in the paper and the headline read "Welcome Back All-American Kid"
Yeah, this song is for those who never did
Come back all-American kids

Sir, there may be a good reason that "Proud to be an American" is over played?!?!??
Hard to beat an old song like that when it comes to patriotic songs.

I might draw some ire from some folks, but speaking as a redneck kid from middle of nowhere Nebraska who listens to country pretty regularly, I'm pretty tired of hearing Toby Keith.
With that, "Blue Star" and "Southeastern Son" by the Turnpike Troubadours and "The War" by Lucero always make me grateful to be doing what I'm doing and the crap those before us had to go through in defense of our country.
