Check out this amazing video of viral vocalist Loren Allred performing ‘God Bless America’ on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol at the 42nd A Capitol Fourth.

“God bless America, land that I love, stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with the light from above, from the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam, God bless America, my home sweet home”

What a spectacular performance! Loren Allred has such a beautiful voice, and her rendition of ‘God Bless America’ is wonderful! In the video, she is singing with a line of American flags behind her while fireworks are going off all over the city. And scenes of the Washington monument being lit up with the colorful fireworks flash across the screen as well.

“On July fourth, A Capitol Fourth, America's National Independence Day celebration, honors our country's birthday with an all-star salute,” reads the caption of this YouTube video. “For over 40 years, this television event, featuring a parade of superstars, has offered the best in American entertainment and helped set the tone for a spectacular American birthday party. This top-rated extravaganza features coverage from 20 cameras positioned around Washington, D.C., ensuring viewers are front and center for the nation's most incredible fireworks display nation.”

The beloved and patriotic song ‘God Bless America’ was written by Irving Berlin during World War I. Irving Berlin wrote the song in 1918 while he was serving in the U.S. Army in New York. It was the signature song of Kate Smith, who performed the most famous rendition through the years.

Irving Berlin brought ‘God Bless America’ back to popularity again before World War II. This patriotic song inspired the nation then, and it continues to do so today. We hope that you enjoyed watching this video of Loren Allred performing ‘God Bless America’ during this year’s July 4th celebrations in Washington, D.C.
