As Americans celebrate Independence Day this year, I feel it is becoming more important to invoke and nourish the spirit of liberty, pride, sacrifice, gratitude and the quintessential American fighting spirit. To that end, I have put together the following list of songs (some with videos) to inspire and motivate those at a time when it may be needed most.

Thanks. I am glad you enjoy the thread.

I listen to all of these on a regular basis, not just patriotic holidays. I have to limit the times I hear the ones about sacrifice and remembrance because it takes too much out of me.

I hope others enjoy my selections.

I only embedded the videos of some of my favorites of the categories. I am sure that all the others are on youtube though.

I wish there were a way to embed them all in a way people could go through, or select without having a page of almost 100 videos.
