Brantley Gilbert has always been a hug supporter of our military men and women and our veterans. He is humbled by their service and sacrifice, and he is often reminded just how much they sacrifice to serve our country. He recalls several years ago meeting a service member who is one of thousands who missed out on precious time with his kid in order to serve our country.

Brantley Gilbert – soldiers leaving kids behind :28

“This active-duty guy came in that had just gotten home. He was there when his son was born and then he left. Man, it crushed me, cause I’m thinkin’ about all the memories that I have up until that point. I think Barrett was 18-months at the time. I had all these memories already, and this guy puttin’ his neck on the line for us missed all that. So, when people ask what’s the hardest part of your job and you tell ‘em leavin’ home and being away from home, which is true, but it just kind of makes it so small when you think about what those guys and girls are doing.”
