tribute to troops

By WND Staff

Fox News and radio personality Sean Hannity will team up with Freedom Alliance to host a tribute to U.S. troops that will raise money for the families of military personnel who have been killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty.

The “Hannity Freedom Concert,” scheduled for July 8, will also be sponsored by WABC radio in New York and Six Flags Great Adventure. According to Freedom Alliance, Hannity will broadcast his daily radio program that day from the park in Jackson, N.J., and then will host the concert, which will feature country singers Martina McBride and Darryl Worley. Lt. Col. Oliver North, who is the founder of Freedom Alliance, also will appear at the event.

“Sean Hannity is a great friend and we appreciate the help that he and his millions of listeners are providing for the men and women of our armed forces,” said North in a statement. “The money raised through this effort will have a profound and lasting impact on the sons and daughters of America’s military heroes.”

Over the years, Freedom Alliance has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships to students who have lost a parent in such conflicts as the Persian Gulf War, the 1983 terrorist bombing of the Marine Corps barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, and terrorist attacks on the USS Cole and the Pentagon.

Tickets for the concert, which include admission to the amusement park, go for $35.99 and are available through Freedom Alliance’s website.
