“Partnering with these awesome veterans out here at Operation Patriots FOB is a dream as these guys get it,” shares Jared Ashley. “Adding the songwriter/music event just shines a much-needed light on all the amazing things they’re already doing out here for our veterans and their families. We want to take advantage of those things and invite people out to celebrate and honor those who have given so much to our country. We honor them with events like Operation Cherrybend in Wilmington, Ohio and now Operation Patriots FOB here in Ridgeland, South Carolina.”
The event includes a Liberty Creek (Wine) Veteran VIP Experience Package for a chance to meet former WWE Superstar, Ted DiBiase Jr., WWE Hall of Famer, Ted Dibiase, Navy veteran and singer/songwriter Jared Ashley, and U.S. Army veteran, Olympic gold medalist, and former heavyweight champion, “The Merciless” Ray Mercer along with Gen. Lloyd “Fig” Newton USAF (Ret), Walker Montgomery and Jason Michael Carroll. With the same spirit as Jared Ashley’s successful ‘Operation Cherrybend’ event in Wilmington, Ohio which has showcased artists such as John Michael Montgomery, Lonestar, Joe Diffie, Mark Chesnutt, Tyler Farr, Jason Michael Carroll, Daryl Worley, Mark Wills, and Randy Houser, the upcoming festivities in Ridgeland, South Carolina will be sure to bring together a community and its veterans through music, adventure, and fellowship.
