In September, fans gathered at a concert stage in Washington, D.C., to watch Florida Georgia Line participate in the world’s biggest USO Tour. The event was broadcast around the world to the men and women serving our country.
As we celebrate Memorial Day this weekend, Brian Kelley says that performing for our troops has personal significance to him. “For those of you that don’t know, my grandfather was a P.O.W. and two-time Purple Heart recipient. My uncle and cousin both served overseas. The opportunity to perform for our troops is deeply personal for me.”
As this summer kicks off this weekend, Florida Georgia Line will be out on their "Can’t Say I Ain’t Country" tour with a show (5/25) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
