\n\tDarius Rucker was the recipient of the 2026 Veterans Voice Award Presented by USAA\u2019s Honor Through Action at the 52nd American Music Awards on Monday night. The Hootie and the Blowfish frontman and diamond-selling country musician has continued to champion those who serve through his support of military organizations like the Military Warriors Support Foundation. During the course of his career, he\u2019s performed on multiple overseas USO tours and at events in support of veterans such as the DoD Warrior Game<\/a>s.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s called the Veterans Voice Award, and I take that to heart big time because all of us can use our voice to support these brave men and women who are serving our country,\u201d Rucker said during his acceptance speech. \u201cWe got to make sure that they feel app<\/a>reciated \u2014\u00a0not just on big days like Memorial Day \u2014\u00a0but every day we should be doing this.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve been really fortunate because I\u2019ve been all over the world, and I hear stories from service members who are stationed everywhere. One of the biggest thing they\u2019ve given me is perspective, because these people have been through things that we could never imagine \u2014\u00a0ever \u2014\u00a0and you learn real quick what resilience looks like when you\u2019re sitting talking to the military families.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe concluded with, \u201cOnce I was talking to a veteran, and he said to me that when somebody says to them, \u2018Thank you for your service,\u2019 he says, \u2018Thank you for what we\u2019re serving,\u2019 and that\u2019s what we all should be doing right now. We should be striving to live, to become a community and become a country that we deserve what they sacrificed.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSo tonight, I want us all to be as loud as we can and yell and use our voices to let these folks know that we love them, and we appreciate them, and we thank them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe AMAs ceremony, fittingly broadcast on Memorial Day during Military Appreciation Month, included Rucker reuniting with his Hootie and the Blowfish members, who performed \u201cHold My Hand\u201d and \u201cOnly Wanna Be With You\u201d from their 22x-platinum debut, 1994\u2019s Cracked Rear View.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\tThe American Music Awards were created by Dick Clark Productions. DCP is owned by Penske Media<\/a> Corporation, The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>\u2018s parent company, in a subsidiary joint venture between Penske Media and Eldridge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
