REDBOOK's Strength and Spirit Awards

Last night, fellow spokesman Donny Daughenbaugh and I had the honor of presenting LeAnn Rimes with REDBOOK's 2007 Strength and Spirit Award at the Hearst Tower in New York City. LeAnn was honored for her work with charities, in particular, the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes.

LeAnn has been constant inspiration to the wounded troops we serve. A woman with her commitment, generosity and passion is so rare and we so blessed to call her our friend.
LeAnn, thank you for reminding millions of Americans that we can lift one another with a helping hand, or a voice in song. It was an honor to present her with the 2007 Strength and Spirit Award!

Furthermore, it was extremely special to so warmly greeted by the REDBOOK and Hearst staff. Thank you to everyone who helped put this incredible event together.

Back to Iowa we go ...

We're on the red carpet in New York City!

To follow up on J.R.'s last post ... Donny Daughenbaugh (wounded Marine and fellow CSAH spokesman) and I are in New York City today to honor LeAnn Rimes, on behalf of REDBOOK, with the 2007 Strength and Spirit Award for her charity work, especially with the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes.

We just walked the red carpet with her ... man there were a lot of flashing lights! We felt like celebrities ourselves. Now we are on our way to give her this much-deserved award. More later....

CSAH in REDBOOK's November Issue

Many props to our long-time friend and ambassador, LeAnn Rimes. LeAnn is featured (again) in the November issue of REDBOOK. In the article on page 160, REDBOOK features her amazing work with our organization. If you snag a copy, you'll even see a picture of LeAnn and I at a press conference in New York with Kellogg Company.

If you do not know already, LeAnn donated the acoustic version of her new song, "I Want You With Me", to the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes and Kellogg's for a special promotion. You can pick up a box of Corn Flakes, Froot Loops or Frosted Flakes with LeAnn's picture on the box or go to www.kelloggsalutes.com and find out how to download this song for a minimum $1 donation to the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes.

You rock, LeAnn! Thanks for helping us spread the message!
