Lee Greenwood's 1992 album of American standards, American Patriot , is getting its first release on vinyl.

Greenwood , 81 , has been performing for political figures of both parties since the days of Ronald Reagan .

Greenwood 's interest is in American unity, not activism, he told Vanity Fair .

"I wish I had written " God Bless the USA " during the Vietnam years , because I’m that age. I was a 3 -A in the draft, so I was never in the military, but my father was in the navy.

He joined the navy after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 , and that separated my mother and father.

My mother worked her fingers to the bone, and I think I got that work ethic.

"God Bless the USA " is an anthem for Republicans , but I think Democrats love it, too.

"I'm hoping it is across the spectrum, especially with Veterans Day coming up! My focus over the past 15 years is building homes for wounded veterans, for wounded warriors. I don’t really talk politics with people that I admire. I think we’re Americans first .".
