Rock Band KISS to Honor Military at the DCU Center

From ScoutCommsUSA:

Rock band KISS has partnered with Hiring Our Heroes and Vet Tix to recognize veterans and members of the military next Saturday, Sept. 3 at the DCU Center, as part of the KISS North American 'Freedom to Rock' tour.

For the Worcester concert, local retired Marine Corps Master Sgt. Michelle Nelson has been selected by Hiring Our Heroes to be the band's "Roadie for a Day" in support of the show. There will also be a 5-minute tribute to the military during the concert, in collaboration with local Worcester government and military leaders.

Says Nelson: "I am very appreciative of the opportunity to be a Roadie for a day for KISS. They have from the start always respected their fans & have given their all to them in their shows. Their love of country is also reflective in this opportunity & their contributions to Hiring Our Heroes for the future of our service members & their families once they complete their service to our nation."

Eligible Worcester-area veterans and service members received free tickets to the show given away through the national nonprofit Vet Tix http://www.vettix.org/. Veterans and service members can create a free account and receive notifications for future opportunities for free tickets that comes to the area.

I would love to work with you on a story on this leading up to or at the concert, and I'm happy to help arrange interviews with representatives from the involved organizations, such as Eric Eversole, the head of Hiring Our Heroes.

The full announcement of the tour's military and veterans 2016 tour partnership is available online at the KISS website.
