Country star Chris Janson hopes to instill in his children pride in their country and respect for the American flag. Janson recently collaborated with Steven Curtis Chapman on a new rendition of ‘America the Beautiful’.

Lessons from Childhood

Janson remembered a pivotal moment from his childhood when his fourth-grade teacher explained the importance of having deference to the flag. He said his teacher scolded him for letting the tips of the flag touch the ground, teaching him a valuable lesson about respecting the symbol of American freedom.

Janson wants his kids to understand the value of honesty, respect, and gratitude. He believes that traveling around the world can remind Americans how lucky they are to live in a free country. Chapman, who collaborated with Janson on the song, also emphasized the importance of gratitude and freedom.

Appreciation for Freedom

Chapman mentioned his grandfather, a World War II veteran who earned a Purple Heart, and how his service and love for America inspired him to appreciate the gift of freedom. Janson and Chapman’s song, ‘America the Beautiful,’ is a tribute to the country and its values.
