Kellie Pickler has always gone above and beyond to be there for our US Troops and she’s done it again with her stunning picture on the cover of Maxim Magazine’s Salute To The Troops Issue!

Kellie’s been over-seas on multiple USO tours to the middle east, including her honeymoon visit with her husband in 2011. So, the ex-American Idol contestant was the perfect pick for the retro-style shot for the magazine. She’s beautiful, talented and always there for the troops! You can see the cover here

Not that Brantley Gilbert needed to do anything this amazing to make fans think he’s cool, but wow! Brantley Gilbert had a mighty big gun at the show on July 20th when he fired a Howitzer 105mm Cannon.

I wonder if he’ll bring it with him to First Niagara Pavilion this Friday. Hope so! If not, I sent him a tweet asking for the video of the blast. Hopefully we’ll get to see that eventually.

That and more country tweets from Jewel on location, James Otto on the water and Lady Antebellum over-seas!

Here are today’s Tweets!

Time to DOMN8 another one BG Nation.... Blow it up.... fb.me/272m1fdPE
