Nashville, TN- May 29, 2012- Country Music Superstar Tim McGraw spent
Memorial Day performing for a packed house of servicemembers at New York
City’s Beacon Theatre. In partnership with Chase and the United
Service Organizations (USO), the show was streamed live via YouTube and
to military bases around the world on The Pentagon Channel.
“These men and women go out and put their lives on the line to protect
the simple freedoms we enjoy every day,” said McGraw. “Playing for them
last night was a thrill for me, and it was just small gesture of
appreciation. I hope there will be a lot more of these types of shows
as we get deeper into our HomeFront program. The energy in The Beacon
was electric last night…it was the perfect way to spend Memorial Day.”
