At the 2022 CPAC, the artist who wrote “God Bless The USA,” Lee Greenwood, become the third ever individual to be inducted into the CPAC Hall of Fame. Greenwood’s hit song, written in 1983, has become one of the most recognizable patriotic songs in American history. Greenwood, after being nominated to sit on the National Endowment to the Arts Council by President George W. Bush, served on the council under four U.S. presidents.
When presenting Greenwood his award, Matt Schlapp, the chairman of CPAC, said “there is no one more patriotic and deserving than Lee Greenwood and his American ballad ‘God Bless the U.S.A.’”
