Discover the untold stories behind the ultimate patriotic anthem, their time entertaining troops on USO tours, and why modern Hollywood has walked away from traditional American values.
In this exclusive episode of Hang Out with Sean Hannity, iconic singer-songwriter Lee Greenwood and former Miss Tennessee Kimberly Greenwood open up about their lives dedicated to faith, marriage, and patriotism. From a chance meeting on a USO tour under Bob Hope to performing for five U.S. presidents simultaneously at the Reagan Library, the couple shares a lifetime of memories honoring our wounded veterans through Helping a Hero.

Trump's signature walk-out song.
