Tim McGraw’s Emotional Memorial Day Post Has Fans Saying the Same Thing

Tim McGraw’s latest post is striking a chord with fans. On Monday, May 25, the country music star shared a patriotic song along with footage from Arlington National Cemetery on Instagram.

“Never forget the ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Unselfishly stepping into the brink for our collective futures,” McGraw captioned the post.

The lyrics of the accompanying song aren’t familiar, however, and could be a previously unreleased track or something McGraw plans to release soon. “Tears rain in Arlington for soldiers young and brave,” he sings. The chorus begins, “This is the song for America.”

It didn’t take long for the comments section to fill with reactions from McGraw’s followers, many of whom took a moment to honor those who died in service.

“God bless our Gold Star families,” one person wrote.

“All gave some. Some gave all,” someone else said.

“God bless our military families,” a third comment read.

Several other users simply dropped American flagemojis in the comments.

McGraw has long been outspoken in his support of the U.S. military, often marking holidays such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day with tributes on social media. He previously released the patriotic song “If You’re Reading This” in 2007 and co-authored the 2019 book Songs of America with historian Jon Meacham.
