NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 4, 2015) – Within a patriotic song lies the power to shape a nation. Like the post-9/11 morale-boosting “God Bless The U.S.A,” by Lee Greenwood and the politically charged “God Bless America Again” by Bobby Bare, songs can bring us together in solidarity, or break us apart. Devoted to those anthems that make us proud to be Americans and reflect on our ability to freely express our beliefs without fear of ridicule, Country’s Family Reunion brings viewers the celebrated series, “God Bless America Again,” just in time for Memorial Day.
Hosted by ‘Whispering’ Bill Anderson, the patriotic 4-part special, “God Bless America Again,” kicks off on Friday, May 15 and airs weekly through Sunday, June 7 on RFD-TV. It features performances by Lee Greenwood, Bobby Bare, John Conlee (“They Also Serve”), Ray Stevens (“Farther Along”), Jimmy Fortune (“In God We Trust”), Jan Howard (“My Son”), David Hall (“Riding With Private Malone”), The Gatlin Brothers (“The American Trilogy”), Mark Wills (“Looking For America”), Daryle Singletary (“America”), Jim Ed Brown (“Uncloudy Day”), and many more.
Join Anderson and the performing artists as they sing, share stories, songs and memories, and pay tribute to those military servicemen and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom this Memorial Day.

About Country’s Family Reunion
Gabriel Communications, started in 1996 by long-time disc jockey Larry Black, is the producer of the popular Country’s Family Reunion and Larry’s Country Diner series. Black first applied the “Reunion” concept to the legends of Country music in 1997. The idea was simple: bring America’s most-treasured artists together into one room to reunite and reminisce about their careers, perform signature songs and share stories while the cameras roll. The result has been pure magic, documenting hundreds of stories and performances that would have otherwise been lost. The series’ popularity has led to top-rated shows on RFD-TV and wildly successful DVD sales, spurring the creation of more than a dozen more projects and Country’s Family Reunion News (a monthly newspaper that highlights the music of yesteryear), as well as giving rise to sold-out theatre shows and ocean cruises by the ever-growing fan base.
