This year for Veterans Day, some musical guest stars chose to take to the stage and show their love for our troops through song. Brantley Gilbert and Eli Young Band graced the iHeart Theater Los Angeles in celebration of the incredible courage that our hero’s show each and every day.

The iHeartCountry One Night For Our Military Presented By The Makers of Accu-Chek® Guide was all about showing support. Hosted by radio personality, Bobby Bones, country music lovers from all over came out to display their honor and enjoy the heartfelt show.

The show opened up with a melodic performance from Eli Young Band performing their song, Dust, a track off of their fifth studio album, 10,000 Towns. In the intimate setting, lead vocalist and guitarist, Mike Eli, opened up, sharing personal details about the bandmates who are going on their 20th year together. Although, admittedly still adjustments to West Coast time, the group seemed to still be able to rock the room. The crowd lit up singing right along when the group performed their popular song “Love Ain’t” wherein the music video, it follows the story of a triple amputee veteran and his wife. Before the performance, Eli divulges details about their search to find the most inspirational story out there to feature in the video. He notes the chosen couple as being "the epitome of love."

When asked if they believed it was possible for others to understand what veterans and their loved ones deal with, Eli answered honestly stating, "I don't think that you have to have a link [to the military] to understand the kinds of sacrifices that these families make."

Eli went on to share compassion for our vets and asked that all of us listening must remember that "sometimes the war doesn't end when you come home."

Their setlist included:

"Dust"

"Saltwater"

"Breaks Your Heart"

"Love Ain't"
