The Charlie Daniels Journey Home Project recently honored the Grand Ole Opry during a special tribute concert held on July 8, celebrating the Opry’s long-standing commitment to supporting the United States military.
Daniels’ long-time manager and Co-Founder of The Journey Home Project, David Corlew, says, “This evening was special in so many ways. First, being part of honoring Charlie Daniels during the Opry’s 100th birthday celebration, surrounded by incredible music and cherished friendships. Then, giving back by presenting The Charlie Daniels Patriot Award to the Opry, a long-time ally of the military community. It was truly an unforgettable night for The Journey Home Project.”
Part of the Opry 100 Honors, the evening was a tribute celebrating Daniels with performances from Trace Adkins, Jamey Johnson, Eddie Montgomery, The Travelin’ McCourys, Rhonda Vincent, Gretchen Wilson and Chris Young.
Daniels’ wife, Hazel, who was also celebrating her birthday that evening, joined her son, Charlie Daniels Jr., on stage, further reflecting the Daniels family’s continued support for the mission of The Charlie Daniels Journey Home Project. The organization is a not-for-profit organization co-founded by the late Daniels and Corlew in 2014 dedicated to assisting other organizations in securing funds to support causes benefiting U.S. Armed Forces veterans.
