I'm making two-minute slideshows for eight chiefs and need song suggestions to go with each person's pictures. So far I have Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man," Toby Keith's "How Do You Like Me Now?" and Bob Seger's "Like A Rock." One possibility is Alan Jackson's "Small Town Southern Man." These songs were chosen by the individuals, but some have asked me to choose. One guy asked for a contemporary rock/patriotic song.
These are the ones I'm mulling over, but I was hoping to get some more ideas! This is for a military function -- a promotion ceremony, and each slideshow will be 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes long. Their pictures are mostly of him in uniform, either at work or in travels, him with his family, and his formal military pictures.
Thanks!!!

last two stanzas:
The dream is still alive
someday it will come true
and this country
it belongs to folks like me and you
so let the voice of freedom
sing out through this land
this is our country
From the east coast to the west coast
down the dixie highway back home
this is our country
From the east coast to the west coast
down the dixie highway back home
this is our country

Hey, baby, whew!
I know that you believe in me,
That's all I ever need, uh huh.
No, no, nothing's gonna stop me,
Nothing will be scaring me, oh no

Oh, little darling

For a little while.
Gonna give it all we got.
