Rockie Lynne in concert at the Wayne County Fair August 12.Lynne Brings Honor To Fallen Soldiers
The Rockie Lynne concert August 12 at the Wayne County Fair was more then just an appearance of an artist that has been tabbed as 'The next big thing in country," as Lynne brought forth a strong message about honoring our fallen soldiers and his "Tribute To The Troops."
As he opened his show he listed the names of military personnel from Wayne County that had lost their lives in combat.
He told the audience about the "Tribute To The Troops History" and how he became co-founder and national spokesperson for the organization.
Lynne noted that the mission statement of the group he is co-founder "is dedicated to those brave soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Our focus is to gratefully demonstrate to loved ones left behind that we, as ordinary Americans, will not forget their loss. Is is in their memory and honor that we raise awareness and funds for the benefit and comfort of those who continue to serve. Through these efforts we convey our gratefulness and appreciation to all veterans who have served, whether in war, or in peace."
The volunteers who work for this organization organize motorcycle rides, benefit concerts and other events to raise funds and awareness for loved ones of America's fallen soldiers. He spoke about motorcycle riders who visit the homes of the families of our fallen troops and how they are now funding children of these families so they can attend college.
After high school Lynne joined the Army and served for six years in the 82nd Airborne and he and his band just recently returned from a 21-day tour of Afghanistan, Southeast Asia and The Persian Gulf, where they entertained U.S. troops.
Rockie Lynne is indeed an outstanding singer and guitarist. His show at the Wayne County Fair featured a number of his songs from his album "Rockie Lynne Songs For Soldiers.
We talked with Lynne during a rain interruption and the fireworks display about his dedication to this cause and we admire his sincere efforts in helping military families who have lost loved ones. His CD "Songs For Soldiers" truly brings forth what Rockie Lynne is all about.
