Anyone know a good patriotic dance song for a wedding?

My fiancee and I are getting married in July this year. Since I'm a veteran and we're going to have a pretty good number of active duty service members and veterans attending, we decided to have a dance where all of the veterans and their dates join us on the floor. Where I'm running into problems is trying to pick a song. I'm trying to find something that is either patriotic in nature or speaks to some of the things we have to deal with in the service (ie. separation) and is also easy to dance to. I'm thinking about Here Without You by Three Doors Down but I need some more Ideas. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9Y4yomMz0s The Longer the Waiting by Josh Turner, but there's a bit of a macabre bit (and it's pretty Navy centric), but I still like it.

Only in America by Brooks and Dunn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN1iI-DaJNw is a fun one, and would probably be my choice for what you're describing, since it's a happy song.

Come Homes Soon by SheDaisy is nice, but tear eliciting.

I also like Letters from Home by John Michael Montgomery.

To prove I know more than country http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaLOSdFczSk Red, White, and Blue by Brian McKnight is sweet.

Tracy Chapman's The Promise is a very sweet song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUVnKz_deUA

Calling You by Blue October http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JKOnYh6snc 

10 Hours Warren Barfield http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxdY6xFwXmA&feature=related

Alone in this Bed by Framing Henley http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irL-ufG0DOc It's kind of emo, but so is Here W/out You, IMO.

When you come back Down (actually our first dance song) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng5-VUDcjJ8

Not really patriotic, but it speaks about separation.

My BFF had a special dance at her wedding just for servicemembers. She played "American Soldier" by Toby Keith. I think it pretty well sums up the collective experiences of all Soldiers (Servicemembers). Good luck!

Idk about Patriotic, but I Love "Ocean Wide" by The Afters. Its all about being separated from the one you love and making it through. Something most if  not all AD and Vet's can understand!!
