Turner, one of the youngest artists to be voted into the Grand Ole Opry, said he's glad to be coming to perform. "I'm really looking forward to playing for the troops this year," said the double-platinum-selling singer. "I come from a patriotic background as my ancestors have served as far back as the Civil War, so this will come from the heart." Also performing is Staff Sgt. Angie Johnson, a vocalist with the 571st Air Force Band, which belongs to the 131st Bomb Wing, Missouri Air National Guard. "Being a vocalist in the Band of the Air Force Reserve got me where I am today," she said "Being a part of this unit helped me sharpen my skills as an entertainer and gave me the confidence to make the move to Nashville to pursue a career in the music industry. They'll always be like family."
