appreciate him coming who would have thought us" says Sgt. Deantre
Trotter.

vets, went table to table, shaking hands and thanking these men and
women in unifrom for our freedom.
"It gives us so many freedoms
and so many things if you look around, people don't have freedoms we
have, our military fought for those things and we don't put enough
emphais on that" says McGraw.
The veterans say they are just as thankful that someone of Tim McGraw's status would take time to show his patriotism

been overseas over 10 years now. Knowing people still appreciate what
we are doing 10 years down the road feels good" says Sgt. Shauna Cook.

A surprise salute, from a superstar who says these guys and gals are the ones that really shine!
"I
think it's one of the most important things we have. It makes
everything about our country it is what makes us tick" says McGraw.
McGraw
has been involved with "Operation Freedom" for his "Brothers Of The
Sun" tour, giving a home to a military family in need for each of his 25
tour stops.
For any veterans that weren't invited out today, Outback wants to give you a gift too!

Arrest made in fatal shooting in Memphis
May 23, 2013 19:55 GMT
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Memphis police have arrested a man accused of fatally shooting one man and wounding another.
The Commercial Appeal (http://bit.ly/188G97s ) reports that 21-year-old Setric Hall has been charged with second-degree murder, aggravated assault, attempted second-degree murder and using a firearm during a felony.
He's being held in the Shelby County Jail.
Police say the shootings occurred Wednesday night. Officers found a 26-year-old man on the floor with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead there, and later identified as Devin Cox.
A few minutes later, officers responded to another location, where they found a 22-year-old man with a gunshot wound. He was taken to the Regional Medical Center at Memphis.
Police believe that Hall was trying to shoot his girlfriend when the 22-year-old man intervened.
The girlfriend was not injured.
