Country Stars Trade Cowboy Boots For Combat Boots

josh-turner-boot-campaign-2011
Country music stars are taking off their cowboy boots and replacing them with army boots.
 
Marcus Luttrell, retired US Navy SEAL and author of the book Lone Survivor, inspired the Boot Campaign, which encourages Americans to purchase a pair of army combat boots to wear in support of our nation’s troops.
 
Country music stars involved include legends like George Jones, Oak Ridge Boys and Charlie Daniels and hit-makers Josh Turner, Joe Nichols, Gretchen Wilson, Justin Moore, Chuck Wicks, Joey + Rory, Jack Ingram and more.
 
Daniels chose the Boot Campaign to be a part of his annual charity event at the Nashville Palm.
 
“I’ve never seen anything quite as unique as the Boot Campaign, and I’ve seen a lot,” said Daniels.
 
Proceeds from the boot sales are donated to partner charities, including Luttrell’s Lone Survivor Foundation. For more information about The Boot Campaign, visit www.bootcampaign.com.
