Featuring Craig Morgan and hosted by LTC Allen West at the Mint Museum Uptown Charlotte, North Carolina.

On Wednesday, Sept. 11 at 6:30 PM, country music star Craig Morgan will headline the Country Stars & Stripes concert. He will be joined by Ira Dean and Jason Michael Carroll. Morgan is famous for his popular songs “That’s What I Love About Sunday” and “Redneck Yacht Club.” He is also an Army veteran having served as an elite military operator.

The concert, hosted by LTC Allen West, will benefit military members and their families through the organization Committee to Support and Defend. This organization helps military members in need with items such as grocery and gas cards to help deal with rampant inflation. They also help in other areas such as natural disaster aid. After Hurricane Ian damaged homes, Support and Defend was on the ground assisting active-duty military members with repairs and replacing items that were destroyed.

The American Constitutional Rights Union sponsors the Committee to Support and Defend and all donations to the organization are tax-deductible.

LTC Allen West told Restoration News this about the concert:

There has always been a unique connection between Country music and American patriotism, especially with our Troops. The Country Stars and Stripes concert…will give us an opportunity to remember the men and women in uniform who answered the call of duty after 911. All gave some, Some gave all. And it is especially great to have Craig Morgan, a veteran himself, headlining the event, along with Ira Dean singing the song "Am I the Only One." At a time when we are providing free benefits to those entering our country illegally, some even terrorists, let us never forget our true Guardians who stand upon freedom's rampart.
