Jamey Johnson shared a video to social media of a recent interaction that he had with the mother of a fallen soldier who was a fan of his and \u2026 well, plenty of folks are getting misty eyed over it all.<\/p>\n
Johnson met Gold Star mother Patricia Lynn Hair, whose son Brian John McLaren was a Sergeant in the Army. McLaren died after he suffered a broken neck in a pool-diving accident, according to Whiskey Riff. <\/b><\/a><\/p>\n In the video shared to Johnson\u2019s account, Hair showed off a photo of Johnson standing next to Kris Kristofferson at the 2016 Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco. She explained that she took the photo and realized that when she got home that Johnson was the singer that her son listened to all of the time.<\/p>\n \u201cThis guy came up on stage and sang a couple of songs with (Kristofferson), and I took this picture,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen I got home, I realized this is the guy my son (loves). He used to play a CD and his guitar in his room before he went in the military, and I\u2019m like, \u2018I don\u2019t know who it was.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Hair said she got cancer and moved back to Ohio, but when she saw that Johnson was playing in Franklin, Ohio in July she wanted to share the story with him. The video showed her getting introduced to Johnson, and showing him the photo she took of him.<\/p>\n \u201cMy son used to play your CD when he would be working out in his room,\u201d she said. \u201cHe was in ROTC, and I got so tired of hearing \u2018In Color\u2019 that I was like, \u2018If you play that song one more time, I\u2019m gonna break that CD.\u2019 <\/p>\n \u201cNow that song reminds me of him,\u201d she told Johnson. \u201cBecause it\u2019s all I have left of him is his pictures.\u201d<\/p>\n Johnson signed the photo and asked her if she heard, \u201c21 Guns.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve never seen you in concert,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n The video then showed fans cheering as Johnson brought her onstage to sing \u201c21 Guns.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOh man!\u201d one fan responded. \u201cCrying! God bless this mama and her son who gave it all for his country. Thank you Jamey Johnson for honoring this family.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSeeing this in person was breathtaking,\u201d another person wrote. \u201cSuch a cool moment given by a great man.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGod bless you Sgt McLaren,\u201d another person wrote. \u201cHugs for his momma.
