BLACK CREEK, GA. – Daniel Defense, manufacturer of the world’s finest firearms and accessories, is proud to announce that Marty and Cindy Daniel will be honored at the third annual Charlie Daniels Patriot Awards Dinner on October 27th at Nashville’s City Winery. All proceeds from the evening will benefit the late Country Music Hall of Fame member’s veteran’s non-profit, The Charlie Daniels Journey Home Project (TCDJHP).
“Charlie was a great man and a great friend that did so much for people, especially our veterans,” said Daniel Defense President & CEO Marty Daniel. “We all miss Charlie a lot and are honored to be associated with his legacy of service.”
“Marty and I were very blessed to have known Charlie,” said Daniel Defense Executive Vice President Cindy Daniel. “Receiving the Charlie Daniels Patriot Award is one of the greatest honors of our life.”
"Charlie and I had many conversations regarding how we could pay respect and honor to those that crossed our paths, that go above and beyond in supporting our active military, as well as our returning veterans,” explained Daniels’ longtime manager and TCDJHP co-founder David Corlew. "The Charlie Daniels Patriot Award personifies the extraordinary acts of respect and care for those that have served this great nation. The award is a thank you from Charlie himself."
Prior to his passing last year, Daniels and Corlew handpicked this year's Patriot Award recipients which also include country singer Darryl Worley, decorated military veteran Mark “Oz” Geist and The Daniels Center at Middle Tennessee State University. The criteria for the award is based on the mission of the organization: to support veterans in their return, rehabilitation, and reintegration back into civilian life. The award honors a person, persons, or group that fulfills and exemplifies the efforts and dedication of TCDJHP's purpose to continuously care, support and encourage the men, women, and families who have served our great nation. Previous recipients include Chris Young, Mike Huckabee, Jude Seale, William Horton, Donnie Mingus and The Shepherd’s Center.
