SIOUX FALLS (KELO AM) - Lee Greenwood came to Sioux Falls Saturday to perform in the Washington Pavilion packed with veteran patients and area veterans. The event was the third Valentines for Veterans concert in Sioux Falls.
"This was our third concert," said Brenda Stevens, Sioux Falls VA’s Chief of Voluntary Service. "There were five other VA-sponsored concerts going on around the country to say thank you to veterans for their service."
Stevens added that the concept for Valentines for Veterans began with two employees at the Northern Arizona VA Healthcare System. Concerts have been held by other VAs around Valentine’s Day ever since.
Greenwood entertained the audience with his hits to include his McDonald's Jingle. He ended the concert with his icon song "God Bless the USA.”
After the concert, Greenwood went to visit patients at the VA Medical Center who couldn't attend the concert.
