The Freedom Concert

I went to the Freedom Concert the other night with my dad. The concert series is hosted by Sean Hannity and benefits the Freedom Alliance. The Freedom Alliance provides scholarships to the children of fallen soldiers that have served in our nation's military. No matter what you feel about the current war the cause here is not debatable. I'm not going to get on my soapbox and talk about the war what I want to talk about is the amazing experience this event was. The line up for the event included Lee Greenwood, Larry the Cable Guy, Sean Hannity, Neal Boortz, Clark Howard, Scott Slade, The Charlie Daniel's Band, Newt Gingrich, Oliver North, and Montgomery Gentry. It was so cool to see so many people coming together (over 13,000 of them) to support our troops and their families. The standing ovations were just too sweet throughout the night. One of the highlights was the satellite hookup to four of the troops in Iraq and allowing their familes to see them on the big screens. Another highlight was seeing Hannity, Boortz, and Slade sing The Devil Went Down to Georgia with the best part being Boortz changing the line in the song from "and a band of demons joined in" to "and a band of LIBERALS joined in". One of my favorite parts was seeing 13,000 people stand and sing God Bless America then God Bless the U.S.A. with Lee Greenwood and the fact that I had my dad next to me as we sang was too cool. The feeling of the entire night was just special. Charlie Daniel's can still bring it, Montgomery Gentry just gained another fan, Lee Greenwood was awesome, and of course Larry the Cable Guy was hilarious. Oh yeah from what I understand none of the performer's were paid for their appearance and in this day and age that is a HUGE statement.

We should all thank our troops and keep them in our prayers as they sacrifice more than we can ever imagine. Thank you for all you do and may GOD BLESS AMERICA!
