On Monday 29 May 2023, Gene Watson reflected on Memorial Day.
‘On Memorial Day, we honour those who gave their lives for our country, but probably most of us are reminded on this day to give thanks to all those that served.
On this special day, I’d like to give a shout-out to Ms. Judy Seale of Nashville, who I’ve worked with on international tours in the past (Scandinavian Country Music Festival in Furuvik in Sweden in July 2008).
Besides her regular job, Judy works tirelessly to bring entertainment to the troops serving far and wide. She founded a non-profit organisation, Stars For Stripes, which takes entertainment to troops around the world. In the worst of times, Judy has been in Afghanistan, Iraq, and anywhere armed forces were stationed, to help boost the morale of those men and women defending our freedom.
Judy’s work is often partnered with the actor, Gary Sinise, who started the Gary Sinise Foundation. Gary Sinise’s Foundation serves the nation’s defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need, by creating and supporting unique programs designed to entertain, educate, inspire, strengthen, and build communities.
Hats off to both Judy Seale and Gary Sinise who support our troops with their great work’
