Memorial Day is coming up. A time to remember the service of the veterans, both new and old, both present and absent, for their service to the country. The recipient of this year's Veterans Voice Award is country singer Zac Brown, who's always been open about his support for the vets.
On May 26, he will be honored at the American Music Awards by the Easy Day Foundation for his "unwavering support to the veteran community," per Fox News Digital.
Zac Brown spoke to the outlet ahead of time, to share how much the award means to him. "This award means a lot to me because of the awareness that it's going to create for our veterans programs," he said. "The more people that are aware of how deserving that these incredible people are, the more help that we can bring to them."
"They're such incredible, dynamic people that make a lot of sacrifices from their family, the quality of their family life when they return home, their mental wellness, all of those things so that we can be free and able to be here," he continued.
He went on to share that he thinks not enough people think about the sacrifices made by servicemen, "just so we can live in such an amazing country where we feel safe. It's an honor and privilege to get to serve them back."
Zac Brown Speaks On How Lucky Americans Are
Later on, Zac Brown speaks on the importance of appreciating those in the military.
"It's important that Americans pause on Memorial Day because a lot of people have fought and died and suffered for our freedom, and I'm grateful that the American Music Awards and Easy Day Foundation are making a point of recognizing this during Monday's event," he continued.
"People can complain about America, complain about whatever, but they haven't gone and lived in other countries," he said. "Most of them haven't gone to live and see what it's like in some of the other places in the world. In America, there are challenges with anything that you're going to do and accomplish, but you can do things here that you cannot do anywhere else."
His outspokenness for the military won't be silenced any time soon, and his fans love him for it.
