Mark Wills Receives Patriot Award

Mark Wills was recognized with the Patriot Award during his performance at Nashville’s Hard Rock Cafe’ on Monday evening, September 12th, 2011. Presented by Operation Troop Aid®, the award is given to an artist/entertainer who goes above and beyond to demonstrate his/her support of our troops via visits abroad or at U.S. bases and facilities, performing before them, being actively involved in fundraising initiatives to support charities, organizations and causes that directly benefit the military men and women and their families.

The son of a Vietnam veteran, Wills has made more than seven trips to Iraq and Afghanistan over the course of his career entertaining our troops to become personally acquainted with the faces of our servicemen and women. In just the past few months, he’s visited Ft. Hood and has performed before troops at various Army Bases and PX’s across the U.S.  as part of his quest to demonstrate his sentiment of support.

In alliance with USA Cares (a non-profit national military assistance charity founded to assist post-9/11 military families in emotional health and recovery, and bearing the burdens of service with financial and advocacy support), Mark introduced the Warrior Treatment Today “Crazy Being Home” project in April 2011.
