Daniel Garcia, “The Walking Man” and Global Walk Inc. is producing this concert to honor and thank God, veterans, first responders & their families. This patriotic World Changers Veterans Benefit Concert will be an event to offer respect and healing to our heroes who sacrifice for us every day. Guests of honor include Gold Star families who have lost military family members in the line of duty, to acknowledge their loss, grief, and continued healing.

The community concert event will feature a favorite central Florida band, The Long Run (TLR), an Eagles tribute band. TLR captures the energy, guitar techniques and vocal harmonies of the Eagles to an art. TLR consists of the finest and most respected musicians who have shared the stage with the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eddie Money, Trace Adkins, Steppenwolf, Beach Boys, and .38 Special.

Event guest speaker is national bestseller Karen Vaughn, author of “World Changer”, the story of her son, Navy Seal Aaron Vaughn. Aaron was killed in action in the Tangi River Valley of Afghanistan on Aug 6, 2011, when a Chinook helicopter with 29 other service members, was shot from the sky while rushing into battle. All perished. Karen will speak and inspire guests with her speech, the “Cost of Freedom”. 

Organizations (such as the St. Johns County Veterans Council, Vietnam Veterans of America, and others) that support veterans, first responders, and their families will have an opportunity to have tables at the event to share information and resources with guests. Proceeds from the concert will be donated to charities to include those in St. Johns County that serve this worthy group of servants, some of whom are homeless veterans.
