Darius Rucker
Aug 13, 2012
CAPITOL NASHVILLE artist DARIUS RUCKER is voicing his support and encouraging the public to get involved with the organization OPERATION GRATITUDE.
OPERATION GRATITUDE, which was founded in 2003, is an organization designed to send the comforts of home to U.S. Troops who are stationed abroad. While encouraging people to send care packages or to simply write a letter of support to the troops, RUCKER says that he has seen first-hand, the appreciation that those gestures bring to our military's men and women. RUCKER has often performed at military bases all over the world.
Also continuing his support of the U.S. military, DARIUS RUCKER will appear with VINCE GILL and other Country artists at OPERATION HOMEFRONT's Pro-Am Charity Golf Event on FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30th in PONTE VEDRE BEACH, FLORIDA.
