USO OF METROPOLITAN WASHINGTON-BALTIMORE’S 33rd ANNUAL AWARDS DINNER SALUTES MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENTS AND CELEBRITIES
Writer-Producer Sebastian Junger, Singer-Songwriter Stevie Nicks, Quarterback Peyton Manning to be Recognized for Their Support of Troops and Their Families
On March 24 ,2015

USO Achievement Award: Stevie Nicks, singer and songwriter, holds the record for the most hours spent over a five-year period visiting combat-wounded service members as part of USO-Metro’s celebrity handshake tours. Over the years, she donated hundreds of iPods filled with music to those recovering at the then Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Bethesda National Naval Medical Center. Nicks was so moved by her visits that she wrote the song “Soldier’s Angel” which was released as a single in 2011 and appears on her album “In Your Dreams.” Nicks will also present USO-Metro’s Col. John Gioia Patriot Award to Seema Reza.

I'm elated that she is being recognized for her compassion. It's quite impressive that she is singled out for contributing the most time among the recipients.
This is more wide-sweeping than any music award, as it is recognition for her humanitarian efforts. She's a national treasure. She needs a statue now ! Or perhaps her face carved into Mount Rushmore. lol
