God Bless America and Aaron Tippin

"'Where The Stars And Stripes And The Eagle Fly' conveys a powerful and positive message about America. This song touches the very soul of this great country. It creates such a sense of pride in America, the best country on earth. Of all the new patriotic songs recently released, Aaron Tippin's 'Where The Stars And The Stripes And The Eagle Fly' says it best. We are all America; our diversity is our strength.The CD also includes a second single, a dynamite remake of one of Aaron's earliest hits and one of my personal favorites, 'You've Got To Stand For Something.' Aaron performed that song with the Bob Hope USO Tour for our troops during the Gulf War.Definitely one of Aaron Tippin's best. Buy the CD single; you won't regret it. And remember, the net proceeds go to help the victims and their families so devastated by the tragedy on 11 September. How terrific, Americans helping Americans!"
Stirring, patriotic country classic!

"I rarely if ever rush out to buy singles, instead choosing to wait for them to appear on albums. However, I simply could not wait to own this amazing song, so I bought it right away. Although a "contemporary" country singer, Aaron Tippin has always maintained a traditional flavor in most of his songs, which I very much appreciate. This song is a good example.
"Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagly Fly" could, I think, become a country classic: it is patriotic (but not cheesy), has a stirring and catchy melody, and has very timely (yet timeless also) lyrics."
WOAH! WELCOME TO THE SOUNDS OF "NEW" AMERICA!

"This is no doubt the best song that I've heard that have come out in response to the September 11th attacks. Tippin adds his strong voice to what will surely become an anthem for America. It will stand the test of time, as surely songs like Live's "Overcome," Paul McCartney's "Freedom," and the brand new version of "God Bless the U.S.A." by Christian band Jump5 will. I thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for not only giving me the gift of life and Eternal Salvation, but giving me the privilege of being born in this God-blessed country. Let us move forward, and move on to triumphant victory in the new war on terrorism. Buy the single, and be proud that you've been blessed by God to live in America. Grade: A+"
Regarding "Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly"

"This song is indicative of the growing patriotic sentiment in the U.S., and I for one appreciate Aaron Tippin and others like him for songs like this. It's unfortunate that it took a tragedy to remind Americans of how lucky they truly are, but better late than never... To the author of "Fly This"--I think I speak for most people when I say that we are tired of self-proclaimed intellectuals like you that don't realize how lucky you are. Either get with the program or leave."
"Stars and Stripes" Proud to be American

"What a magnificent song to portray the emotions of all Americans today. A message of inspiration to stand steady for what we believe in. Aaron Tippin is the heart of country music (American music) and that is quite evident in the lyrics he wrote and the delivery of his message. He never ceases to amaze me."
