Brantley Gilbert Gives CMT Awards Tickets To Veteran
. During that ride, Gilbert met Staff Sergeant Justin Patterson, who gave the country singer his Purple Heart medal. Patterson explained to Gilbert that he has suffered with PTSD and didn't leave the house for two years. He further expressed his appreciation of Gilbert's support and advocacy in getting the word out about the Wounded Warrior Project. "What you're doing for us, you have no idea what that's doing for us," Patterson said. "I don't know what other way to thank you. I can't give you a GRAMMY or a country music award. I've got a gift for you. What you're doing to raise awareness means the world to me. I'd like to give you my first Purple Heart." Overcome with gratitude, Gilbert said he doesn't know how to repay Patterson. "If you need a date to the country music awards, I'm your girl," Patterson joked. It turns out that Gilbert can't make the CMT Awards tonight night (June 10), so he reached out to the veteran during an interview on Fox & Friends, where he offered up his two tickets.
