Garth Brooks was just honored at American Country Music Awards as the “50th Anniversary Milestone Award recipient,” but it’s this performance and Brooks’ salute to the troops that has people talking tonight:
And now the troops are in the aisles & the seats are red white and blue. Who's crying? Thank you military for your sacrifices. #ACMawards50

Best singing of the night = Reba. Best performance = Taya Kyle, Garth and the troops. #AMCAwards50
