appreciate him coming who would have thought us" says Sgt. Deantre
Trotter.
McGraw, who's grandfather, sister and uncle are all
vets, went table to table, shaking hands and thanking these men and
women in unifrom for our freedom.
"It gives us so many freedoms
and so many things if you look around, people don't have freedoms we
have, our military fought for those things and we don't put enough
emphais on that" says McGraw.
The veterans say they are just as thankful that someone of Tim McGraw's status would take time to show his patriotism
"We've
been overseas over 10 years now. Knowing people still appreciate what
we are doing 10 years down the road feels good" says Sgt. Shauna Cook.
Staff Sgt Jasmin Ward was wearing one of the biggest smiles in the room.
"I am a huge fan! I was really surprised, this is one secret they kept a really good grasp on" says Sgt. Ward.
A surprise salute, from a superstar who says these guys and gals are the ones that really shine!
"I
think it's one of the most important things we have. It makes
everything about our country it is what makes us tick" says McGraw.
McGraw
has been involved with "Operation Freedom" for his "Brothers Of The
Sun" tour, giving a home to a military family in need for each of his 25
tour stops.
For any veterans that weren't invited out today, Outback wants to give you a gift too!

Tishomingo County voters OK beer, alcohol sales
May 22, 2013 23:38 GMT
IUKA, Miss. (AP) -- Tishomingo County is the latest Mississippi jurisdiction to legalize alcohol sales.
Voters approved the sale of liquor, wine and beer Tuesday, reports the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (http://bit.ly/13JCcix).
It wasn't clear referendums would pass until affidavit ballots were counted Wednesday.
With more than half Tishomingo County's voters casting ballots, legalizing alcohol passed by 42 votes, while legalizing beer and light wine passed by 73. The county borders Alabama and Tennessee.
Lawmakers legalized liquor at a proposed resort at the county's Bay Springs Lake in 2010, but it wasn't built.
Greene County voters legalized beer sales last year, while Corinth, New Albany and Senatobia have legalized alcohol sales under a 2012 law that allows cities to hold votes.
Mississippi has 13 remaining counties that allow no beer or alcohol sales.
