The Grand Ole Opry hosted its Salute the Troops performance and red carpet earlier this week.

Among the artists who performed were Opry member Craig Morgan, who serves as an Army Reserve Warrant Officer, Opry member Lauren Alaina, The War And Treaty, HunterGirl, Opry member John Conlee, Opry member Rhonda Vincent, Opry member T Graham Brown and the 100th US Army Band. The Opry also welcomed 3-Star General Robert Harter, the Chief of Army Reserve and Commanding General of the US Army Reserve Command, as a guest announcer.

In a special moment, Lt. General Harter presided over a future soldier swearing-in ceremony live on stage.

Ahead of the show, the Opry invited honored active and veteran military guests to join a red carpet parade into the Opry House for the evening’s show. Leading the red-carpet walk was Lt. General Harter, Retired US Army General Keith Huber with MTSU’s Charlie and Hazel Daniels Veterans and Military Family Center, Carol Whitmore, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) National Commander, and Hal Roesch, VFW Foundation Executive Director.
