More about the cause: The original mission of the USA Veterans Hope Center was to provide counseling services to veterans being at risk for suicide and counseling services to family members of veterans who had committed suicide. However, the center is expanding its services to veterans to include training veterans in the food service industry. Franklin said, Veterans will be trained so that they can enter the workforce and be sufficient and stand on their own two feet and maybe have self-respect for the first time in a long time. More about Aaron Tippin: Best known for his hits Youve Got to Stand For Something, Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly, My Blue Angel, Workin Mans PhD and For You I Will, Tippin has been a prominent part of the country music scene with more than 30 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts for more than three decades.
