Operation Cherrybend a success

A large and enthusiastic crowd packed the Murphy Saturday evening.

From left are Jerry Shaffer, Jared Ashley, Daniel Dean, Josh Sams, pro wrestling star Ted DiBiase Jr., Chuck Georges, Harold Overstreet, Jason Koger and Sal Gonzalez.

Local veterans Josh Sams and Larry Draughn along with Molly Boland (plus a four-legged friend) enjoy the annual hunt at Cherrybend Pheasant Farm that preceded the concert to honor veterans headlined by Lonestar held at the Murphy Theatre Saturday night. Founded by Nashville recording artist, US Navy veteran and Flight Deck Veterans Group founder Jared Ashley — who again performed Saturday night — and Cherrybend’s Ellis Family, the event is meant to thank our nation’s wounded veterans and spread awareness for veterans issues, especially the fact that 22 veterans take their own lives each day.

Lonestar performed a full set, including their nine number-one singles.
