“[These are] people who have given us security for a lot of years, and we’re able to do that back for them in a small way,” McGraw said.

Over their three years working together, Tim McGraw, Operation Homefront and Chase have awarded 114 homes, touching over 300 veterans and family members in 30 states in front of over 2,000,000 fans.

McGraw’s Shotgun Rider Tour 2015 kicked off June 5 in Little Rock, AR and continues in Raleigh, NC on July 10. He is joined by special guest Billy Currington and newcomer Chase Bryant.

“On behalf of the entire Operation Homefront family and the military families we serve, I am thrilled we are able to continue our amazing partnership with Tim,” said Brig Gen (ret) John I. Pray, Jr., president and CEO. “Tim’s deep, personal commitment to honor those who work tirelessly to protect the freedoms we enjoy daily reflects his clear appreciation for what our military members and their families do for all of us.”

“Everyone who is part of this program is working toward one goal – ensuring a bright and successful future for veterans and their families,” said Ross Brown, director of Military and Veterans Affairs at Chase.
