America’s # 1 Gold Record Award
Winning Group of all time in all categories KISS
have partnered with Hiring Our Heroes (HOH) and Veteran
Tickets Foundation (Vet Tix) to
salute members of the National Guard and military Reserve forces in over 30
U.S. cities during their 2016 ‘KISS: Freedom to Rock’ tour.
KISS will hire a currently
serving member of the National Guard or Reserve force to be a “Roadie for the
Day” for each of the 32 U.S. concerts. In addition, KISS will donate a limited
number of tickets to veterans in each community and distribute those tickets
through VetTix.org. Veterans and their family members will also have the chance
to purchase discounted tickets through Vet Tix. Military discounts will also be
available at venue box offices with proof of a valid military ID in select
markets around the country. Please note this offer is not available in all
cities – please consult www.kissonline.com for exact details.
The U.S “KISS: Freedom to Rock” tour stops are all home to a large number
of Army and Air National Guard or Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps
Reserve members. Since September 2001, hundreds of thousands of Guards and
Reserve members have been recalled to active duty, and many have deployed to
Iraq and Afghanistan. Nearly 900 of these brave men and women made the ultimate
sacrifice.
KISS’ founder Paul Stanley said “KISS is celebrating our
“Freedom To Rock” tour this summer; the same freedom that’s been upheld by our
veterans and active duty service members”
KISS’ other mastermind Gene Simmons stated, “We are
proud to partner with HOH and Vet Tix to highlight the incredible commitment
and sacrifices of hometown heroes serving in the National Guard and Reserve
forces. Many of these heroes have given a lot—and some have given all—and we
will honor them in every town we tour.”
From the President of Hiring
Our Heroes and a Vice President at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, “Our members
of the National Guard and Reserve are called upon at a moment’s notice and they
drop everything to respond. It is fitting that we honor these often invisible
heroes in their communities and hometowns as part of the ‘Freedom to Rock’
tour,” said Eric Eversole.
“Getting the opportunity to partner with Hall of Fame
rockers is an amazing opportunity,” said Mike Focareto, CEO
of Vet Tix. “KISS fans get much more than live music and a pyrotechnics
show; they get a chance to create unforgettable memories with their family and
friends. We’re excited to make this experience possible to our Vet Tix
family.”
