God Bless America (Official Song)
■■■■■
This beloved patriotic song is deeply embedded in American culture, but its official status and origin are often misunderstood.
●
What People Remember
Many believe 'God Bless America' is the official national anthem or a much older, traditional patriotic song of the United States.
◉
What's Actually True
While a deeply patriotic song, 'God Bless America' is not the national anthem (that's 'The Star-Spangled Banner') and was written by Irving Berlin in 1918 (revised in 1938), making it a relatively modern composition.
