Craig Morgan Re-Enlisted in the US Army Reserves<\/h3>\n

The album announcement came a little over a month after Morgan re-enlisted in the US Army Reserves live on the Grand Ole Opry stage.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m excited to once again serve my country and be all I can be in hopes of encouraging others to be a part of something greater than ourselves. Thank you to the Opry, the US Army Recruiting Command and everyone who helped make last Saturday night so special,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he wrote on social media on August 4th.<\/p>\n
