Charlie Daniels
There For The Troops

Collectibles, apparel, and other gifts ... for Marines, Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, and veterans!  
USA Patriotism! proudly recognizes . . .patriot Charlie Daniels for his ongoing support of our troops and veterans (The Journey Home Project) along with his heartfelt patriotic songs like "In America".

Since 1990, the multi-award winning Charlie Daniels and his band have been there for the troops, performing many times each year on various sponsored tours in the states and overseas including in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Charlie Daniels even launched Operation Heartstrings in November 2005 with the goal to put musical instruments and other sources of portable entertainment into the hands of the men and women who serve our country in some of the most desolate parts of the world . . . and to aid in alleviating any feelings of loneliness and isolation.

And there is no better way to describe how the troops feel about Charlie Daniels than as expressed by Major General Gus Hargett, Tennessee's Adjutant General...

"It's amazing to watch Charlie communicate with the troops over here . . . Charlie is a performer that bridges the gap between generations of Americans. Some of these songs were hits before many of these men and women were born, but you see young and old alike, cheering and singing along with every song the band performs . . . No one does that better than Charlie Daniels."

Charlie Daniels performs for soldiers of the Tennessee National Guard’s 278th Regimental Combat Team at Forward Operating Base Cobra in Northeastern Iraq.

Then there is how Charlie Daniels feels about our brave troops...

“I wish that all Americans could spend just one day among the brave men and women who defend this country in Iraq and Afghanistan . . . They live in constant danger in dusty, desolate desert camps, wearing body armor in sweltering weather, missing their loved ones . . . My trip only re-enforced what I already knew... the American forces are the finest in the world . . . I can't even articulate my love and admiration for them.” April 2005

And make sure to experience...
