New Lee Greenwood Song

I appreciate the sentiments in the first one, but the lyrics make me cringe. "And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me". NO! "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights..." . Our veterans (of which I am one) secure our rights, but we didn't earn them nor give them to anyone. They are given to every human at birth by Almighty God and are inalienable, they cannot be taken away. A lot of people in the world have lost their freedom, but they have not lost their rights.

Always thought that line should read " And I won't forget the men who died to save that right for me."
 
took me until about 2 minutes in to realize it's a cappella and the drum track is just a guy beat boxing. I guess I should have watched closer at 0:45
