Aaron-Tippin
Aaron Tippin will be honored at the DAR 118th Continetal Congress in July for his dedication and service to American troops and their families. Tippin will receive the DAR Founders Medal for Patriotism from the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution on July 10 at DAR Constitutional Hall in Washington, D.C. 

 
“This is an honor for which I am without words,” Tippin said. “Regardless of what we think is right or wrong, or politically correct or incorrect, the bottom line is that our American brothers and sisters are fighting for our freedom — to speak freely and live freely. I do not take their sacrifices lightly. This is a privilege, and I feel the absolute necessity to recognize those who make it possible. It’s just a part of who I am…to support men andwomen who are willing to ‘stand for something,' and I will continue to ‘stand’ for them.”
 
Founder’s Medal recipients must display extraordinary acts of heroism, service, patriotism and achievement, and the medal is presented in recognition of those deeds, service or educational pursuits that go beyond one’s employment obligations or normal duties. 
 
Tippin and his wife, Thea, will also perform a four-song acoustic set as part of the formal, black-tie affair’s festivities.
