One of Justin Moore’s favorite parts of his job is getting to meet people from all different walks of life, and he says, “Having put out ‘The Ones That Didn’t Make It Back Home’ (his #1 song, he released just prior his current single, “Why We Drink), which was written and recorded and put out to honor the men and women of service in our country, the fact that that song had the platform that it did and did so well for us, gave us a lot of opportunities to meet folks who may be family members of those who have served or maybe themselves have served. And that’s really special. It’s really humbling.”
Whenever Justin has an opportunity to thank someone for their service to our country, he is always grateful, and he says, “The thing that always kind of gets me is, no matter whether it be in a meet and greet or at the supermarket or whatever, when people come up to me who have served or currently serve, they always come up and thank me for our music. And I’m just kind of taken aback because I’m going, ‘No, no, no, no, we don’t do anything. You guys are the ones who should be thanked.’”
Writing and releasing “The Ones That Didn’t Make It Back Home” was one way Justin was able thank the current and former members of the military, and he says, “Anytime we have the opportunity, we try to wave the flag for those men and women.”
Justin Moore – Memorial Day 1:01
“We have so many really neat opportunities that our jobs provide us, and certainly meeting people is one of them. Having put out ‘The Ones That Didn’t Make It Back Home,’ which was written and recorded and put out to honor the men and women of service in our country, the fact that that song had the platform that it did and did so well for us, gave us a lot of opportunities to meet folks who may be family members of those who have served or maybe themselves have served. And that’s really special. It’s really humbling. The thing that always kind of gets me is, no matter whether it be in a meet and greet or at the supermarket or whatever, when people come up to me who have served or currently serve, they always come up and thank me for our music. And I’m just kind of taken aback because I’m going, ‘No, no, no, no, we don’t do anything. You guys are the ones who should be thanked.’ And that’s what we tried to do with that song and video, and anytime we have the opportunit,y we try to wave the flag for those men and women.”
