"Memorial Day is one of my favorite times of year, along with Veteran's Day," says Rascal Flatts' Jay DeMarcus. "I'm a huge history buff, and I have the utmost respect for the military and the price that they have paid for us, and continue to pay for us, to enjoy the freedoms that we do today. All too often, we go about our lives here in America taking things for granted that have been paid for in blood by so many people that have come before us. I hope that we never get to the point to where we're so complacent that we forget those people that are over there putting their lives on the line for us day in and day out.""Memorial Day has always meant something special to me," adds Rascal Flatts' Gary LeVox, who has friends and relatives who served in the Armed Forces. "We went to Iraq in 2005 and it really changed all three of our lives. You never know the price of frXXdom until you stand in the middle of a combat zone in a foreign country with 18- and 19-year-old kids who are absolute studs. They are the true root of what red, white and blue means, and that's something that I'll never forget. So, from that day on, Memorial Day meant even more to me."
