On Dec. 9, the titular host of the show—along with co-hosts Chuck Wicks and Tricia Jenkins—announced that that they had received 153,422 thank-you cards, exceeding their goal by more than 53,000 cards. The 153,422 well-wishes will be sent to U.S. troops via Operation Gratitude, a nonprofit that sends care packages to deployed troops.

This year, a number of country stars stopped by The Ty Bentli Show to compose personal cards for the troops, including Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Justin Moore, Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, Old Dominion, Brad Paisley, Mitchell Tenpenny and more.

Since 2017, The Ty Bentli Show has collected more than 450,000 thank-you cards for deployed troops.
