Country music has always lifted up the military and several stars took the time to reflect about Memorial Day on socials.

Brantley Gilbert: “I went through a phase where I was really weird about celebratin’ Memorial Day, just because I felt weird if I just went and got on a boat somewhere and just partied. I always felt like I was bein’ disrespectful. But I had a conversation with a buddy of mine, Tig.” Tig told him “We want people to have a good time. I can’t speak for everybody, but speaking for me, that’s what we fought for.”

Brett Young: “We need to remember soldiers and people that have gone to war to protect our country and sacrificed of themselves to protect our lives here.”

Carly Pearce: “To me, this weekend and Memorial Day itself, is all about commemorating their selfless sacrifices. What they do for us, is just an unbelievable example of love.”

Chris Young: “I think it’s just a time that we should take and take a moment to remember all of the American heroes. I mean, I think it’s something that we will all definitely keep in our minds.”

Jordan Davis: “Both my grandparents were in the service; my cousin was also a Marine, so the military hits close to home. We live in the best country in the world, and it’s because of those guys. I can’t thank ’em enough. I wish we had Memorial Day every day.”
