On the Fourth of July, Blake Shelton was getting ready to do some boating with his family at Texoma Lake near Pottsboro, Texas, when someone told him there was a disabled veteran who was also boating with his family. Blake headed straight for the man to meet him.

The veteran, named Jason Morgan, a stranger to Shelton, posted the meeting on his Facebook. Along with a post of himself and Blake wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a captain's hat, the man captioned the image, "Great hanging out with Blake Shelton on our boat. Happy Independence Day. We were at the same gas dock, and someone told Blake that a disabled veteran was in one of the boats gassing up, and he came over to meet me. I was very appreciative."

Several people responded to the post, including one of Morgan's friends who wrote, "So thoughtful of Blake. He is very down-to-earth. Happy 4th of July, have fun, and be safe."
