Jo Koy has played to packed arenas around the world, but nothing quite prepared him for the energy of performing for U.S. troops overseas.

Meeting service members — many just 18 or 19 years old — opened his eyes to the sacrifices they make. “We take them for granted,” he says. “It’s easy to say, ‘Support the troops,’ but until you go on the base, you don’t get it.
