Justin Moore and Big Machine Label Group President/CEO Scott Borchetta were both named “Congressman Bill and Beverly Young Humanitarian of the Year” by the Armed Forces Foundation (AFF), for service and commitment to the welfare of military families. Borchetta and Moore were honored during the 10th annual Congressional Gala in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday evening (April 9).

“The work that Patricia Driscoll and the Armed Forces Foundation is doing is extraordinary – and unfortunately – beyond necessary. She and the AFF have identified the real challenges that so many of our troops go through upon their reentry into society. This is the kind of organization that the Big Machine Label Group and I will always support,” said Borchetta.

“Although extremely grateful, I feel a little uncomfortable being honored at an event where there are decorated war heroes present. I feel that my contributions are much less significant than theirs … they are the true American heroes,” stated Moore. “However, I’m thrilled to know that what I do with the AFF has helped, and that it is appreciated by all. Both of my grandpas served in our military and they, along with my parents, instilled in me what our servicemen and women mean to us. It was an honor to tell some of them face to face last night. God bless our troops and God bless America.”
