Description

Fourth of July is my personal favorite holiday of the year. It is a time that we both remember the sacrifices of those who protected our freedom as well as celebrate the fact that we live in a country of unprecedented levels of rights in terms of free speech, bearing arms, etc. To keep this interesting, we will be supplying the most patriotic songs, but not all will be American.
Rounds will go as follows:
1. American
2. Foreign
3. American
4. Foreign
5. American

We will list the name of the song, write up to 100 words describing the message and historical significance of the song, and then providing a YouTube link to the song. This will be judged by how catchy the song is, how significant the song is in the country's history, and how well we conveyed the message of the song.

Reason:

Con forfeited 3/5 rounds, and thus it is essentially impossible for him to win on the grounds that I rarely, if ever award fewer than 4 points for a song
