Lady A’s Hillary Scott we should show love to the military all year long, not just on Memorial Day.

She told us, “I feel like Memorial Day is a day that we should remember every day. And not to sound like a bumper sticker when I say that, but truly, so much of how we move through every day of our life in this country is because of the sacrifice of those men and women who have served.”

Whether it’s being able to go on tour with Lady A, or being able to live the life she shares with her husband and her daughters, Hillary knows none of that would be possible without the brave men and women who volunteer to protect our country and our freedom every day.
