In Honor Of National Military Appreciation Month: Celebrities Who Have Performed For The Troops

- By

Garth Brooks

Country singer Garth Brooks released his first album back in 1989 and after becoming one of the best-selling artists of all time (six of his albums have reached diamond status), he announced his retirement in 2000. The Oklahoma native couldn’t sit still for long, though, as he’s returned to the stage numerous times since then. In 2001, Brooks first came out of retirement to perform for the troops. As the son of a Marine, he felt his performance aboard the USS Enterprise in Norfolk, VA, was especially meaningful. “The military is something our family grew up with,” he said, “and there is a ton of respect and a ton of thankfulness, gratitude, for the men and women that are serving our country.”
