Aaron Tippin will be honored with the DAR Founders Medal for Patriotism by the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution on Friday, July 10th at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington DC.  The award is given to…

 …an adult who has displayed outstanding patriotism in the promotion of our American ideals of God, home and country through faithful and meritorious service to community, state and nation. Founders’ Medal recipients must have displayed extraordinary acts of heroism, service, patriotism and achievement. The medal is presented in recognition of deeds, service or educational pursuits that go far beyond the obligations of an individual’s employment or normal duties.”

After September 11th, Aaron wrote “Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagles Fly.” Tippin also makes frequent trips to perform for soldiers.
 

“This is an honor for which I am without words,” said Tippin. “Regardless of what we think is right or wrong, or politically correct or incorrect, the bottom line is that our American brothers and sisters are fighting for our freedom—to speak freely and live freely. I do not take their sacrifices lightly. This is a privilege and I feel the absolute necessity to recognize those who make it possible. It’s just a part of who I am…to support men and women who are willing to ‘stand for something’ and I will continue to ‘stand’ for them.”

Congrats Aaron!
