Narrated by legendary music icon Pat Boone, For My Country takes you on a journey of the rich history of the United States National Guard. This moving documentary offers an insider's view of the impact the National Guard has made throughout our history and reaches into the heroic lives of the dedicated men and women who sacrifice to defend the United States and its interests at home and all over the globe. This acknowledgement to patriotism culminates with a beautifully filmed and emotionally charged music video tribute by Pat Boone to fallen heroes and the brave soldiers who continue to stand tall for our country.
About Me:
 
In the years immediately prior to the British Invasion, only one performer rivaled the chart dominance of Elvis Presley, and that was Pat Boone. With his trademark white buck shoes, perfectly combed hair and gleaming smile, Boone was the very essence of wholesome American values, and at a time when the rise of rock & roll was viewed as a sign of the apocalypse, he made the music appear safe and non-threatening, earning some 38 Top 40 hits in the process. It's fitting that his achievements rank closest to those of Presley; after all, both claimed the sound of the black R&B culture for their own, in the process straddling both sides of the color line and popularizing a form of music which otherwise might never have gained widespread acceptance. Boone was embraced by teens and parents alike; his music polished rock's rough edges away, making songs like "Tutti Frutti" and "Ain't That a Shame" palatable to white audiences raised on the soothing pop traditions of a vanishing era.

By the 1970s, Boone had shifted almost exclusively to recording gospel material, although he later scored a handful of country hits (on, of all places, Motown); in 1977, his daughter Debby topped the charts with a smash of her own, the wedding perennial "You Light Up My Life." In 1981, Boone published Pray to Win, and in 1983 he began hosting a long-lived contemporary Christian syndicated radio show, all in addition to his extensive charity work. While his recording career continued to taper off, he did issue "Let Me Live," which became an anthem for the anti-choice movement.

As a kid I loved your music and thought that you were a beautiful Christian, a trye child of God.
Now I just see you as a hateful racist and bigot. I am ashamed of you and so is God.
When you say hateful things about others of a different color, race, or even political party, you say it to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
I don't even think you really are a Christian!
