TIM McGRAW HELPS VETS

Homefront is the name of this nationwide program that will award mortgage-free homes to wounded warriors and service members in need.  He'll help someone at each concert stop this summer.  Homefront has partnered with Chase and Operation Homefront.  ACM Lifting Lives (which is the charitable arm of the Academy of Country Music), and The Premiere Group on behalf of the North Carolina Furniture Manufacturers have made substantial contributions in support of the program.

Tim is also set to perform a special Memorial Day concert of remembrance and gratitude for service members at New York City's Beacon Theater during Fleet Week.  You can see the concert as it will be streamed live on YouTube.  It will also be streamed to military bases around the world on The Pentagon Channel.

Tim says, "My sister's a veteran of the first Gulf War.  My uncle was a Vietnam veteran, and my grandfather was a World War II veteran.  I've always felt a deep sense of respect and obligation to our troops.  Being able to reward them for their dedicated work with a new home will be even more rewarding for us.  It feels so good to give back to them, and to have the opportunity to entertain them on Memorial Day is something I'm honored to do."
