Among the performers will be Mike Tarmy, brother of SFC Richard Tarmy. Reflecting on his brother’s life, Mike said, “Rick was in his 21st year and still enlisted when he died. He was sent to Iraq, Kosovo, Qatar, Germany, and South Korea… He was part of the Iraq Freedom. He received 3 bronze stars, and was a sharpshooter, drill sergeant, and platoon leader.” More importantly, Rick was a good man who wouldn’t hesitate to reach out and help those in need. Mike’s band, Cryin’ Shame, will be performing “21 Gun Salute” in memory of his brother, Rick.

Proceeds will benefit Chris’ Pets for Vets, #22Kill Boston, and Honor Flight New England. Chris’ Pets for Vets is a program of Annie’s Angels Memorial Fund, partnering with local rescue shelters to provide companion pets to current and former military. #22Kill is a global movement created by veterans with a mission to honor those who serve(d), raise awareness to veteran suicide and mental health issues such as PTSD, educate the public about current veteran-related topics and issues, recruit Veteran Advocates aka “Battle Buddies,” and support various veteran empowerment programs. Honor Flight New England‘s mission is to transport America’s veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit those memorials dedicated to honor their service and sacrifices, with top priority given to America’s most senior heroes — survivors of World War II and any veteran with a terminal illness who wishes to visit their memorial.
