On Sunday September 27, Veterans Isle held it's monthly benefit concert for Homes For Our Troops. Over four hours from 5PM to 9PM SL time (Midnight EST), four musicians performed for the crowd, although the identity of one wasn't announced until the last minute. The others were Bronze, Frets Nirvana whom helped organize the event, and Anek Fuchs, whom also performed at the Madpea Charity Auction that weekend.
5 PM - Anek Fuchs
6 PM - Bronze8020
7 PM - Frets Nirvana
8 PM - TBA! A surprise hopefully
Come join us and help pay it forward for our wounded veterans!
The crowd was a little lighter that evening compared to most Veteran Isle events, possibly because of the charity event hosted by the popular Madpea group that weekend. Still the event collected Lindens over the course of the event, Frets himself chipping in some of his own.
"What if you give your love so freely?
"What if you're my long lost love?
"What if you're the one I have been dreaming of?
"What if I said I needed you?
"Would you come running to my arms?
"What if I said I loved you?
"Would you hold me in your heard and say you loved me too?
"What if I loved you,
"and you loved me?"
Despite the other big fundraiser going on that night, 60,000 Lindens were raised for Homes For Our Troops.
ABOUT HOMES FOR OUR TROOPS - HFOT builds homes as a departure point for Veterans to rebuild their lives, and once again become highly productive members of society. Despite their life-altering injuries, many Veterans have embarked on new careers, completed their college degrees, or started families. Empowered by the freedom a mortgage-free and specially adapted home brings, these Veterans can now focus on their recovery and return to their life’s work of serving others. Many have embraced their roles as motivational speakers, sharing their messages of persevering through tragedy with groups and classrooms around the country.
