Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks Flex Their Guns for a Good Cause

by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey | June 1, 2017

Much like 2014’s Ice Bucket Challenge sought to promote awareness of ALS via social media, the USO’s #Flex4Forces campaign calls on Americans to show their strength by striking a biceps flex in support of our nation’s military and sharing it on social media.

Step 1: Show Your Strength

Strike your flex pose
Snap a picture or record a video explaining why you are flexing

Step 2: Share on Social

Tag the USO and use #Flex4Forces
Nominate four people to flex next
Start sharing social posts on Armed Forces Day, May 20

Country stars Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks and Phil Vassar have gotten into the spirit of the campaign. Check out the guys flexing their guns.
