McGraw
has a long history and deep interest in supporting veterans and
military families and wanted to find another way to honor our vets and
give back to them for their commitment and service to our country. To
kick-start the HomeFront program, McGraw will perform a
special Memorial Day concert of remembrance and gratitude for
servicemembers at New York City’s Beacon Theatre during Fleet Week in
partnership with Chase and the United Service Organizations (USO). The
show will be streamed live via YouTube and to military bases around the
world on The Pentagon Channel. (http://www.livefromthehomefront.com; https://www.youtube.com/countrynow; http://www.pentagonchannel.mil).

“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,” says McGraw.
“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.”
