Trace Adkins To Honor Wounded Warriors
Trace Adkins will sing “Til the Last Shot’s Fired” with the West Point Glee Club during the ACM Awards in Las Vegas on April 5. The performance is in support of the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP), which is the charity selected by the ACM’s charitable fund. The song appears on Adkins’ newest album, X. Profits from digital downloads of the song on iTunes will benefit the WWP. “It’s a privilege to perform this song with such a distinguished choir for the great servicemen and women in whose honor it was written,” said Adkins. “We should always let our military know how much we appreciate them putting their lives on the line for us every day. The WWP provides an incredible service to those wounded in combat, so it’s an honor to donate proceeds of the performance downloads to support this important and worthy charity.”

April 5th, 2009 at 8:41 pmI am a 22 year veteran and my wife retired as Navy Nurse. Trace’s performance tonight on the ACM Awards left both of us with tears streaming down our cheeks. I felt both proud and sad at the same time. Thank you Trace, but most of all, Thank You to the Marine Captain and all the other brave men and woman who have sacrificed their lives and bodies for their brothers and this still great country. Semper Fi!

The Wounded Warrior Project is one of the best things that has happened to the Marine Corps. It benefits so many brave men and women who have given their all for our country. Everything we can do for them is very appreciated. Again, Thank You, Trace!

But I know that these men and women who come home deserve to be reconized, and honored every single day! It is people like you Trace Adkins that help bring awarness to the people of this country. A heartfelt song with true meaning which will touch many and send a message that our Brave marines and soliders deserve the upmost respect for the honor, courage and commitment they have given this country. God Bless America and god bless you !

May 3rd, 2009 at 10:58 pmthank you trace for taking this stand for our wounded warriors. as a three tour nam vet, all we got in stead of a thank you, we got spit upon and called baby killers. this country needs to get up and stand behind people as our selves and the families who have lost loved one, or have these wounded warriors in their families. once again, thanks from a nam vet.
