 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (USO) - Country stars Craig Morgan and Neal McCoy along with Tootsie's Records recording artist John Stone will team up with Jack Daniel's 'Toast to the Troops' benefit concert at B.B. King's on November 12 at 8:00PM. As a pre-concert event, USO volunteers, members of the military and their spouses will be collecting special 'Toasts to the Troops' at the Port Authority Bus Terminal (625 Eighth Avenue between 41st and 42nd Streets) from 4:30-7:00PM. The 'toasts' (written messages of support) will be included in USO Care Packages that Craig Morgan will personally deliver when he travels with the USO to visit the troops later this year. The Care Packages include an assortment of items service members have specifically requested, such as disposable cameras, prepaid international calling cards, toiletries, and sunscreen. (To date, more than 700,000 Care Packages have been distributed to our troops overseas and at home.) The country stars (Morgan, McCoy and Stone) will be available for a photo op at the Terminal at 4:30PM with the USO Volunteers. All net proceeds from the concert at B.B. Kings will go to the USO. A limited number of tickets are still available through www.ticketmaster.com. The concert is part of the 'Country Takes New York City' week of activities in New York City leading up to 'The 39th Annual CMA Awards' broadcast live from Madison Square Garden on CBS Television on Nov. 15 (8:00-11:00 PM/ET).
