Qa: 'god Bless The Usa' Singer Lee Greenwood On Donald Trump's Inauguration And Bibles

Forty years ago, Lee Greenwood released "God Bless the U.S.A.," a patriotic anthem that has become a standard at political gatherings.

He's performed the song for a number of presidents, including Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush. And over the years, he's formed a friendship with Donald Trump, becoming a fixture at his events. Recently, Greenwood has performed at the Republican National Convention, the Madison Square Garden rally marked by crude and racist jokes, and the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally where Trump made a triumphant return to the venue where he had been shot.

Last year, Trump and Greenwood teamed up for the "God Bless the USA Bible." Printed in China, it is a King James Version translation that includes copies of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance, as well as a handwritten chorus of the famous Greenwood song.

Greenwood will perform at Trump's Make America Great Again Rally at Capital One Arena in downtown Washington on Sunday as well as the swearing-in ceremony Monday.

"The pageantry is wonderful. I'm excited about all of that," Greenwood told The Associated Press ahead of the inauguration. "I'm excited to sing yet again for President of the United States and particularly my friend Donald J. Trump."
