Several Nashville stars marked the launch of a new charity initiative for injured veterans on June 8 in Washington D.C. Amy Grant and Vince Gill hosted and performed at the musical event at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and were joined by Alison Krauss, Michael McDonald, Darius Rucker, Melinda Doolittle and Mac McAnally. The Challenge America initiative supports returning injured veterans and their families by helping them through recreation, finding jobs and housing programs. Also on hand to share their poignant stories were ABC’s Bob Woodruff, and NY Times bestselling author Stephen Mansfield.
