Tillman Troops.org™ Joined Forces to Assist with Injured Soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan

Tillman Troops.org™ Announces that it has joined forces with Toby Keith’s TKO Management and Local Companies to Honor 4 injured service members of the Houston Area on Sept 6th.

The Woodlands, TX, September 05, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Tillman Troops™ announced that it has joined forces with Toby Keith’s TKO Management, Nashville, Tennessee, The Cheese Cake Factory, The Woodlands, Texas, and Carey of Houston, Texas to recognize and honor wounded and injured service members in the Houston area.

Tillman Troops™ has arranged for 4 deserving military veterans to be transported by Cary of Houston in a Limousine, dine at The Cheese Cake Factory restaurant in The Woodlands, attend Toby Keith’s “Biggest and Baddest Tour” September 6th show at the Cynthia Mitchell Pavilion, and meet Toby Keith before the event.

Loree Tillman, director and founder of Tillman Troops™, has been helping dreams come true for deployed and returning local heroes. A wife of a US Navy officer presently serving in Khowst province, Afghanistan, she continues her own energetic efforts on the home front, striving to identify and arrange opportunities for Houston area service members to enjoy the recognition, gratitude and support they richly deserve.

Recognizing Toby Keith’s patriotic reputation and enthusiastic support for America’s veterans, Loree seized the opportunity to reach out and inquire whether he would be available to meet with recuperating service members during the Houston stop of his tour. The response was overwhelmingly positive, and Toby’s TKO Management company reserved complimentary seats for the show as part of their gesture to honor those who have given so much in the line of duty. The Cheese Cake Factory immediately followed with the offer to provide dinner prior to the show and Carey of Houston agreed to transport them in style.

Loree stated “It’s our pleasure to support our troops here locally so that they know Houston, and the USA, salute them their service and sacrifice.”
