Lee Greenwood to Be Inducted into the CPAC Hall of Fame

Lee Greenwood will be inducted into the CPAC Hall of Fame tomorrow. Greenwood will be presented with an award and be inducted into the CPAC Hall of Fame at the CPAC Florida 2022 conference. 

"We are honored to bestow this award to a true patriot, Lee Greenwood, " said Chairman of the American Conservative Union Matt Schlapp. "This is only the third time we have inducted someone into the CPAC Hall of Fame, and there is no one more patriotic and deserving than Lee Greenwood and his American ballad 'God Bless the U.S.A.'" 

Greenwood is best known for his hit song "God Bless The U.S.A." which was released in 1983 and has become one of the most recognizable patriotic songs in America. Artist Lee Greenwood was nominated by President George W. Bush to sit on the National Endowment to the Arts Council and has served in that capacity under four U.S. Presidents. 

Throughout his extensive career, international country music icon Lee Greenwood has earned multiple CMA and ACM Awards, including a Grammy Award for Top Male Vocal Performance on "I.O.U," in 1985, and numerous prestigious awards and nominations.

Known for his stand-out patriotism and support of the U.S. military, Greenwood has been honored with the Congressional Medal of Honor Society's National Patriot's Award and entertained troops on more than 30 USO Tours.

"Being inducted into the CPAC Hall of Fame would make Presidents Reagan and H.W. Bush and their respective wives First Lady Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush so proud. They were dear friends and believed in me, my career, and what 'God Bless The U.S.A.' stood for," said Lee Greenwood. "I am honored and thankful for this moment as hit records and yearly award shows come and go, but the Hall of Fame is forever!"
