but TBH out of those listed, it would have to be American Pie

I remember being stationed in Korea in the 80's and we go to the bars outside the base and play American Pie on the jukebox with everyone joining in ... good times. Pretty sure all the locals there would consider it the, or at least an, American Anthem.

edit to add: I see it listed several times, probably the most mentioned. the GI factor is probably a big reason.
