The new edition available for preorder online at $49.99 is the brainchild of Elite Source Pro, a marketing firm in Nashville that secured country singer and songwriter Lee Greenwood’s endorsement.
Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” topped country charts in 1984 and has become a patriotic staple since. As the Religion Unplugged website first reported, the song was also prominent at Trump campaign rallies.
