As I was writing "God Bless the USA," which commemorates its 40th anniversary this year, I witnessed firsthand my grandparents on their Sacramento, California farm struggle with Cold War-era regulations to shut down their grain production in response to our battles with the Soviet Union. I saw what that did to their livelihoods, and that’s where I got the inspiration for the opening line of the song, "If tomorrow all the things were gone I’d worked for all my life, and I had to start again with just my family and my wife…" The large red tractor which appears in the official video for the song has become a symbol which so many Americans tell me as I travel across the country that they see as a symbol of hard work, perseverance, and the American way.
A few years after I wrote the song "God Bless the USA," a man named President Ronald Reagan stood boldly and asked Soviet leaders to "tear down that wall." Folklore has it that his advisers told him numerous times not to say it, for it would be far too controversial for those times. However, Reagan didn’t back down and if you visit The Ronald Reagan Library in my home state of California, you will see the transcript from that day, in which Reagan himself kept penciling that line back in. He knew that you could only have peace through showing strength.
