Sam Hunt is proud of his family\u2019s military history.<\/p>\n
Although he hasn\u2019t lost anyone in war, he appreciates those who are mourning on this Memorial Day.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy granddad was in World War II. He was on the USS Texas battleship, and he was over at Normandy and over near Japan and he spent a lot of time right in the thick of World War II. He really took pride in what that meant, and it was something I got to see it first hand, as somebody who got to experience that; somebody who had that galvanized American trait. It\u2019s hard to describe it. It was just somebody who\u2019s been through that, seen that and really appreciates what that means. I try to channel that into my life, because I haven\u2019t fought in any war, but I have a ton of respect for folks who have, folks who\u2019ve sacrificed, families who\u2019ve lost lives and just sacrificed years of their own lives and time and effort to maintain those freedoms.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
