In 2016, the country superstar took the stage at the National Memorial Day Concert put on annually by PBS to sing his 2005 track "Arlington," and his reverent tribute remains one of the most memorable performances in the event's history.
Adkins released "Arlington" in June 2005 as the second single from his hit album Songs About Me. The song is told from the perspective of a fallen American soldier who has been brought "home" and laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. It peaked at No. 16 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart in August 2005, and remains of the most beloved songs about American patriotism in country music history.
It also currently sits at No. 6 on the fan-voted list of the best patriotic country songs by Ranker.
