President Obama declared March 19th National Day of Honor ten years ago
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of National Day of Honor, acclaimed singer/songwriter Don McLean has launched the Honor a Vet program through his website. The program will allow fans across the United States to purchase two tickets to McLean’s 50th anniversary American Pie Tour for $100, which will be provided to veterans and their caretaker/spouse in various markets of the tour.
“Not every veteran can afford to attend our shows as they are on fixed incomes,” says McLean. “These men and women have sacrificed dearly and had to do things I never had to do to allow me to get on stage and bring my music to people all over the world. If I can help these veterans leave some stress at home for 75 or 90 minutes and just have a good time, then I feel I am making a difference.”
Each participating venue will process the orders that arrive at donmclean.com and the tickets will be provided to various veteran organizations in the local market. The program will launch on March 18th and conclude on April 24th.
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of one of the most iconic songs and album ever — “American Pie” — this year, McLean will entertain fans across the continent throughout nearly 30 cities from Honolulu to Toronto and everything in between. North American shows run through July 9th before heading to UK/Europe and Australia before year’s end.
