Grammy Award-winning country music icon Lee Greenwood is relaunching Soldier Valley Spirits to mark America’s 250th anniversary. Known for the patriotic anthem “God Bless the USA,” Greenwood brings back his spirits collection after the original distillery’s closure in 2024. The brand continues its mission of supporting charities for veterans and first responders.
“We’re really excited to relaunch this product,” Greenwood expressed in an interview with Fox News Digital. Soldier Valley Spirits has supported charitable causes since its inception. Every bottle sold contributes proceeds to organizations like Helping a Hero, Tunnels to Towers Foundation, and Folds of Honor.
The spirits lineup includes whiskey, bourbon, and vodka, forming the “America’s 250th Birthday Collection.” These drinks are housed in commemorative canteen-shaped bottles inspired by World War II designs, crafted by a former Army sergeant.
The company’s goal is to honor military heroes and their families. Built on the values of faith, family, and service to the country, Soldier Valley Spirits creates a fitting addition for various occasions.
Greenwood aims to make the product accessible in stores and online, offering shipping across most states. His dedication extends beyond manufacturing spirits, with initiatives like the Great American State Fair featuring President Donald Trump at the Freedom 250 celebration.
At age 83, Greenwood’s contributions have earned him honors like the Congressional Medal of Honor Society’s National Patriot Award. He has entertained troops extensively, with more than 30 USO tours. His public service includes appointments by multiple presidents to various national arts councils.
Reflecting on his career, Greenwood stated, “I’ve spent much of my career honoring the men and women who serve our country.” Soldier Valley Spirits offers a ceremonial way to say thank you, celebrating shared values and supporting veteran and first-responder families.
Greenwood shared insights on how “God Bless the USA” became a cornerstone of his performances. Released in 1984, the song gained significant attention during pivotal moments like the Gulf War and post-9/11, culminating in a top chart position during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Anticipating future events, Greenwood will receive the 2026 All-American Icon Award and perform at the Countdown 250 Ball in Washington, D.C.
