Welcome to The List, I’m Jonathan Knight…
Well, the fourth of July is this weekend that means cookouts, family get together’s and fireworks….so, what does it mean to be an American to you? Here’s what it means to Luke Bryan “I think the definition of an American is somebody who stands up during the ‘Pledge of Allegiance’ and stands up when ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ is being sung and just appreciates what all the fallen heroes and soldiers have done to keep us living in a country that’s free where we have the right to do anything we want”
Speaking of being a proud American, Kip Moore Is Very Proud Of America .. “I’m a very, very patriotic person, proud of the country that I live in, and I’m very proud of what those guys do for us each and every day, and I don’t take it for granted one bit. My grandparents were in the military, fought wars, and I’ve seen the battle that they go through, just the horror of remember things. When I start to think that I’m half-way tough, I realize how I’m not one bit when I talk to soldiers when I’m out and realize the things that they go through. I can’t imagine facing what those guys face every day”

I constantly have to keep them both in check to make sure one side isn't taking more control than it should."
