The Boot Campaign is a grassroots initiative started by five women from Texas known as the Boot Girls. In partnership with the USO, the Boot Campaign is a new way Americans can show their support for our active duty service members and veterans. This grassroots campaign has captured the attention of American celebrities and civilians — from professional athletes, politicians, country music stars and more — and is quickly gaining momentum. Money raised will support troops and veterans through the work of the USO and the Lone Survivor Foundation. The Boot Campaign provides Americans with a tangible way to give back to our troops by buying a pair of combat boots and proudly wearing or displaying them. So “Get Your Boots On” to help show appreciation of our military heroes who serve and sacrifice every day for our nation!Stars For Stripes is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing quality entertainment to internationally deployed U.S. Military forces. Bringing together professionals from aviation, entertainment and the military, Stars For Stripes is improving the overseas tour experience for performers, sponsors, donors, and most importantly, for the dedicated men and women protecting our national interests.
Plus, look at this. You have to go. They have a Labrador wearing boots! You know you can't resist that.

It really wouldn't hurt the Nashville Scene to include a link to items in the story sometimes would it?

This is all I could find. http://www.bootcampaign.com/articles.html?…
It's the same info I published, just longer and less interesting to read. I think you'll find my posts are usually very linky if there is a place to link to. This event was not on the Palm website or anywhere else other than rehashes of the press release on other Nashville events blogs.
