 Judy
Seale, President of Judy Seale International and
Stars For
Stripes, was honored with the Tennessee Marine 2012 Leadership Award
at the
Yellow Ribbon event at Lipscomb University's Allen Arena in
Nashville on March 6, 2012. Hosted by Charlie Daniels, the annual event
honors the United States military and their families.
“Rarely am
I speechless, but receiving this honor was a very emotional moment in my
life,” Seale said. “This is equivalent to a Grammy or an Oscar for me in
my career. To be presented this award by my heroes -- the U.S. Marines
-- and experience the moment with Charlie Daniels, Gary Sinise and
Darryl Worley was overwhelming. There are so many others who share my
passion and support of the military who should be receiving this
recognition as well.”
Sinise, who has been on many tours overseas
entertaining the troops, performed most recently in Kuwait on January
28, 2012, on his first Stars for Stripes tour.
“I was thrilled
when Judy approached me about doing a quick trip to Kuwait for a LT Dan
Band concert this past January,” Sinise said. “Judy and I met on the
very first entertainment tour to Iraq back in June of 2003 and as this
was going to be one of the last shows for troops departing Iraq, I could
not pass it up. Judy has been tireless with her support of our troops
over the years, and I support and applaud her efforts. It was a
fantastic show and a privilege to be able to give our troops in Kuwait a
great time. Thank you, Judy, and Stars for Stripes.”
