Supporting Houston Area Military Veterans
THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- Tillman Troops, in coordination with TKO Management and The Cheese Cake Factory, has arranged for 4 deserving military veterans to dine at The Cheese Cake Factory restaurant in The Woodlands, attend Toby Keith’s “Biggest and Baddest Tour” show on September 6th at the Cynthia Mitchell Pavilion, and meet Toby Keith before the event.
Loree Tillman, director and founder of Tillman Troops, has been helping dreams come true for deployed and returning local heroes. A wife of a US Navy officer presently serving in Khowst province, Afghanistan, she continues her own energetic efforts on the home front, striving to identify and arrange opportunities for Houston area service members to enjoy the recognition, gratitude and support they richly deserve.
Recognizing Toby Keith’s patriotic reputation and enthusiastic support for America’s veterans, Loree seized the opportunity to reach out and inquire whether he would be available to meet with recuperating service members during the Houston stop of his tour. The response was overwhelmingly positive, and Toby’s TKO Management company reserved complimentary seats for the show as part of their gesture to honor those who have given so much in the line of duty. The Cheese Cake Factory immediately followed with the offer to provide dinner prior to the show.
Loree stated “It’s our pleasure to support our troops here locally so that they know Houston, and the USA, salute them their service and sacrifice.”
About Tillman Troops
Tillman Troops, founded by Loree in 2007, is a non-profit corporation comprised totally of individuals and organizations volunteering and donating goods, services and other support in the local Houston area, organized for charitable purposes which provide support, aid, comfort and assistance to members of our armed forces, operational employees and agents of other U.S. government departments and their families.
About the Founder
Loree started her drive and organization in October 2007 when her husband, a US Navy Reservist, was mobilized for service in Afghanistan. Her dining room became a “command central” supporting hundreds of service members deploying from the Houston area. Tillman Troops currently supports over 200 service members and is currently expanding their services to include “Quilts From Home,” a project designed to sew, procure and distribute quilts and blankets for our troops convalescing at Veterans’ Administration and other hospital facilities in the Houston area.
