Lambert is not the only country music star to share a Veterans Day post, as many her peers have. "Today we honor those who keep us safe and allow us to live out our American dream," wrote Luke Bryan. "Thank you to the men and women who serve and protect our beautiful country. Happy Veterans Day!
Granger Smith took to Instagram to honor all the veterans of U.S. military service by first satirizing the use of empty memorials and then offering some perspective. "Let's rethink this day," Smith wrote. "102 years ago on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, it symbolized the end of such horror that no one reading this post could possibly comprehend."
"It was the end of MILLIONS of dead bodies scattered about muddy desolation in European fields & trenches," he continued. "It signifies the reason that the whole world doesn't speak German. Can that possibly sink in to us?? If a veteran from that time (all dead now) could speak to us today about it, what would we learn? It's worth asking. It's not just an American question, it's worldwide...just like that war."
