The Ghanaians with a US Army unit in Fort Dix, Texas, enthusiastically sang and danced to several Ghanaian songs to the admiration of their colleagues, some of whom could be seen dancing along.

One of the soldiers, Nana Yeboah, who shared the video on Facebook said they had performed the songs in order to destress and also make Ghana proud.

"Never forgetting our root regardless of where we find ourselves. You can recruit us but you can't take the African from us .....making Ghana proud and releasing some stress after long days of intensive training. Kudos guys... Hooah Pride," he wrote.
