I really thought about that patriotic song challenge and came up empty. I couldn’t think of a single song that made me “proud to be an American” until latelydavid mentioned Buffalo Springfield and then I realized that the protest songs of the 60s genuinely make me feel proud to be an American.

I know a lot of these types of songs feel cheesy in hindsight but if you can’t set that aside for just a moment and revel in the revolution and the sentiment of these tunes and time well then mister you’re a better man than I.
