Justin Moore was a guest with me on Taste of Country Nights where I asked him what was the most memorable show that he has ever played in his illustrious career thus far.

Moore couldn’t narrow it down to just one show.

But he did say that anytime he plays a show for the United States Military troops and their families, those are not only among the most memorable, but they also make the singer check himself and take a step back for a moment.

The “The Ones That Didn’t Make it Back Home” singer says, “We’ve done a lot of military bases so you have an opportunity to chat with the families of those overseas serving and hear their stories and that’s always tough for me.”

“I complain about being gone for three or four days from my family and missing a softball game or football game or whatever of my kids, these men and women are going over and spending a year away from their families,” Moore continues.

That’s when Moore admitted that hearing those stories, directly from those who are living it, make him take a step back for a moment.

“Those make me take a step back and go, ‘Wow. I’m very fortunate and I should check myself,'” he says.
