Well, it's very much a "war anthem," but just think of it as the USA fight song:
I'd sing it without all the apostrophes.

not so much country, but Ultima Thule "Jag alskar mitt sverige"
that was back from when I used to listen to such patriotic crap.

Most of these artists sell patriotism because most of the demographics(country music lovers,people that are loyal to the artist,or just darn good old americans that likes patriotic songs) will buy them.I am not a fan of these lyrics or the genre of this music,but isnt it true that even the musical artists of Greenday is not entirely different from these listed artist in this thread?
This is not a VRW conspiracy as same as VLW conspiracy.This is commercialism of music.

Three songs, dunno if they are "country":
"Amazing Grace".
"America the Beautiful" as sung by Ray Charles.
"Georgia" as sung by Ray Charles.
These sorts of songs are not my normal musical indulgence however.

Well I aint American, so I ain't real patriotic but I am a man in black fan and believe this is the most patriotic country music song I have heard. The live version is brilliant.
Ragged Old Flag - Johnny Cash
I walked through a county courthouse square
On a park bench, an old man was sittin' there.
I said, "Your old court house is kinda run down,
He said, "Naw, it'll do for our little town".
I said, "Your old flag pole is leaned a little bit,
And thats a ragged old flag you got hangin' on it".
He said, "Have a seat", and I sat down,
"Is this the first time you've been to our little town"
I said, "I think it is"
He said "I dont like to brag, but were kinda proud of
That Ragged Old Flag
"You see, we got a little hole in that flag there,
When Washington took it across the Delaware.
and It got powder burned the night Francis Scott Key sat watching it,
writing "Say Can You See"
It got a rip in New Orleans, with Packingham & Jackson
tugging at its seams.
and It almost fell at the Alamo
beside the Texas flag,
But she waved on though.
She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville,
And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill.
There was Robert E. Lee and Beauregard and Bragg,
And the south wind blew hard on
That Ragged Old Flag
"On Flanders Field in World War I,
She got a big hole from a Bertha Gun,
She turned blood red in World War II
She hung limp, and low, a time or two,
She was in Korea, Vietnam, She went where she was sent
by her Uncle Sam.
She waved from our ships upon the briny foam
and now they've about quit wavin' back here at home
in her own good land here Shes been abused,
She's been burned, dishonored, denied an' refused,
And the government for which she stands
Has been scandalized throughout out the land.
And shes getting thread bare, and shes wearin' thin,
But shes in good shape, for the shape shes in.
Cause shes been through the fire before
and i believe she can take a whole lot more.
"So we raise her up every morning
And we bring her down slow every night,
We dont let her touch the ground,
And we fold her up right.
On second thought
I *do* like to brag
Cause Im mighty proud of
That Ragged Old Flag"

I prefer the third verse myself.Irish Caesar said:
Third Verse of U.S. National Anthem said:
You can find the full lyrics here.
edit - Also, the Maryland state song (Maryland, my Maryland) is quite festive... some of the lyrics:
Spoiler :
Of course, in the Maryland state song, the tyrant it refers to is not the British king, but Abraham Lincoln. Also interesting is that the phrase that John Wilkes Booth said after shooting Abraham Lincoln "Sic semper tyrannis," appears in part in the lyrics.

The song that always gets my patriotic juices flowing would be Football's Coming Home by Badiel and Skinner 
My favourite line from that song is - Football's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming. Football's coming home.
