When asked about Adkins and Jackson as headliners for the event, Sergeant Major of the Army Jack L. Tilley (Ret.) said, "We are very excited that Alan Jackson and Trace Adkins have agreed to join us in our efforts to help veterans and their families. It is our goal to make this the biggest year ever."

"JAG" actress Karri Turner and WWE wrestler John Bradshaw Layfield are also scheduled to appear at the event along with a slew of actors, supporters, athletes and performers. The show kicks off at 7:30p (ET) and tickets go on sale on Saturday, August 2nd through Tickmaster and are priced between $30 and $150.
