A legend passed today – Charlie Daniels died after suffering a stroke earlier today.
There weren’t many like him.
Outspoken and a big supporter of the US military, Daniels started The Journey Home Project which helped armed forces veterans.
I had the chance to meet Charlie a number of years ago when he played the Peoria Riverfront.
My son played violin thru high school and we brought one of his earlier violins to the show to see if we could get it signed.
He was gracious and happy to sign it for us. We since donated that violin to a charity auction, but we’ll always treasure that memory.
