Through the help of Stars For Stripes and the Minot Exchange, RCA Nashville’s Chris Young recently had the opportunity to reunite with Wounded Warrior Scott Lilley and spend some time with military personnel at Minot Air Force Base before his show at North Dakota State Fair. Lilley was wounded in Iraq in 2007 and accompanied Young on a tour in 2009 to entertain troops for GAC’s special “Stars For Stripes: Wounded Warriors Return.”
