Chicago fans may be anxious for the Brothers of the Sun tour stop at Soldier Field on Saturday (June 7), but none more so than U.S. Army Sergeant Linda Brashears. Earlier this year, Tim McGraw, who is co-headlining the trek with Kenny Chesney, launched HomeFront, in conjuction with Operation Homefront and Chase, to provide mortgage-free homes to American veterans. During their stop in the Windy City, Tim will congratulate Sergeant Brashears on her new home.

"My sister's a veteran of the first Gulf War," says Tim. "My uncle was a Vietnam veteran and my grandfather was a World War II veteran. I've always felt a deep sense of respect and obligation to our troops. Being able to reward them for their dedicated work with a new home is even more rewarding for us. It feels so good to give back to them, and to have the opportunity to entertain them is something I'm honored to do."
