Thomas Rhett teamed up with Crown Royal to give some love to four military moms whose children are serving our country.

In a video clip posted to Thomas' Instagram, he says, "There's nobody more generous than mom, especially those who serve our country. And today I get to give those moms a surprise they'll never forget."

The video cuts to Rhett sitting with the moms at a table and playing audio messages from their children who are serving. Then, Thomas asked the question, "What would be the proudest moment that you have as a mother?" To which one mother said, "Welcoming them home." He then says to the moms, "This is the other bit of the surprise for you" as four members of the military dressed in summer clothes come out and hug their respective mothers.

Rhett shared on Instagram with the video, "Nothing says generosity like a mother’s sacrifice. #ad In partnership with @CrownRoyal I was honored to recognize some amazing Mothers Of Military with a special medal and an even bigger surprise! #MothersDay. #CrownRoyal #PurpleBagProject"
