On Memorial Day, we honor those who sacrificed their lives to protect our freedom, and as Justin Moore reflects on those sacrifices, he's also reminded of the sacrifices our frontline healthcare workers made during the pandemic.
“To have that inside you, that thing that you’re willing to put your life on the line or at risk because you want to save, help, etc. other people, because that’s more important to you, now that’s very, very special," he says wistfully in a statement from his label. "I wish I had more of that in me. If we could only bottle that up and give it to everybody, myself included, this world would be a much better place.
"But I learned with ‘The Ones That Didn’t Make It Back Home,’ in particular, that all we hear all the time, is all the bad stuff," he continues. "But there is so much good out there and so much love out there. It just don’t sell newspapers. It don’t sell advertising, so we don’t hear about it.
"But having the chance to travel around the country and meet people who do just extraordinary things on a daily basis, I wish people got to see that more. You know, you look at even the front line healthcare workers over the last year. I mean, I’ve got some in my family even. The positions that they’re willing to put themselves in to get us through some unbelievably difficult times is really, really special.”
