Lee Greenwood to release new book (press release)

A Plea for a Better America” set for publication May 14, 2012 by Tate Publishing. Available in bookstores nationwide and online, the compelling 216-page softcover publication includes a special 30-day devotional “Prayers of a Patriot,” written by Greenwood’s wife, Kim.

“This is the first time I’ve put pen to paper, and I’m very proud of our work,” commented Greenwood who co-wrote his book with biblical scholar, Rita Tate. “This publication is a request for unity. It took us a year to write, and I hope that it awakens this country’s sleeping patriots.”

Lee Greenwood shows his appreciation for a fine pair of boots

Generally when a gold albums are being passed out it's to a singer, songwriter, and people like that - generally boot stores are exempt from the honor.   

Well Lee Greenwood decided to change that. 

Greenwood visited the Dan Post Boot Company corporate headquarters in Clarksville, Tennessee on May 18, to give company president Kenneth Moore a gold record to honor the boot company whose boots Lee has been wearing for years.

Moore said “We are excited that Lee, his wife Kim and son Dalton visited us and are honored to be presented with one of his gold records. Lee is a patriotic American and we are also appreciative of the work he does on behalf of the United States military.”

And with that bit of free advertising, Lee Greenwood has assured himself a shiny new pair of free boots for the rest of his life.
