Florida Georgia Line constantly support our troops; they've participated in the WWE’s Tribute to the Troops, and last year’s World’s Biggest USO Tour. Brian Kelley's grandfather was a P.O.W. and a two-time Purple Heart Recipient.

Brian Kelley says of  men and women like his grandfather, “We’re very, very grateful for those that are serving now, that have served and that are going to serve, because we live in the best country.”

Kelley and Tyler often have a chance to meet veterans or active duty military personnel at their shows, and Kelley says, “The crazy thing is, people come in meet and greets that serve and they say, ‘Thank you for dong what you do.’ And it’s, ‘Thank YOU GUYS.’ I mean, anything we can do for our troops, we jumped at the opportunity.”

Veteran's Day is Monday (11/11).

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
