FINALLY!! I am very happy to be able to share with everyone the final version of the music video we filmed on June 12th of this year. My friends, One More Shot asked me to be the face of Tommy Green. Jim Moffat penned and recorded a song called Tommy Green about a veteran. The back story is that Jim was in Nashville recording some music. In his hotel room one night, he saw on the news that a homeless guy was found dead under a bridge in Nashville. As a closing comment, they simply said that he was a veteran. Jimmy heard that and said to himself that, "he deserves better than that." He then sat down and wrote this song. When I first heard the song, a few years ago, I was deeply moved. Any time I heard One More Shot perform after that, I would yell out, "Play Tommy Green!" When Jimmy and band re-recorded the song, they decided to make a music video of the song. Jimmy called me and asked if I would be willng to be in the video. When asked if I would be willing to be the face of Tommy Green, I broke down. This is such an honor for me. This song is the heart and soul of the Heroes Outreach Program. I hope everyone enjoys it and I ask that everyone share it as much as possible. It would be awesome if this went viral. And yes, I'm the fat, homeless looking guy in the video.

Dedicated to all our military--past, present, and future.Jim Moffat One More Shot BandJim Moffat guitar, vocalsDan Hall, bass guitarLanny Engler, steel guita...
