While the song is his most popular, it is not the only ballad he has sung for men and women in uniform. His songs “Til the Last Shot’s Fired” and “Still a Soldier,” are also popular dedications to the brave men and women who live to serve our country.
The country legend routinely performs the song and always moves the crowd to tears. But his performance on PBS’s Memorial Day special in Washington D.C. in 2016 when he was right next to the destination he sings about, was incredibly special.
During his performance, he gave it his all. The singer even took off his hat to honor those who gave their lives for the country and his eyes welled with tears as well.
Whether you are a fan of the singer or not, you have to admit his performance is powerful and tear-jerking for what he can make an audience feel. Especially if you are someone who has a loved one in the armed forces or a veteran.
