One of the most memorable moments of the 2026 Ellis Island Medals of Honor Ceremony was the stirring performance of Lee Greenwood's iconic patriotic anthem, God Bless the USA, alongside the 82nd Airborne Division All-American Chorus. This powerful tribute to America, freedom, and service captured the spirit of the evening and the values being celebrated that night.  

Thank you to Lee Greenwood and the 82nd Airborne Division All-American Chorus for helping make the 2026 ceremony an unforgettable celebration of the American dream.
