The "Red Solo Cup" singer teamed up with The Independence Fund, a nonprofit that helps empower severely-wounded veterans, and gifted a $16,000 all-terrain trackchair to retired Marine Cpl. Brandon Rambaugh.
"While with the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines in Afghanistan, Brandon stepped on an IED as he was carrying a Marine to safety, resulting in the loss of both of his legs. Following his retirement, he was awarded a Navy Commendation Medal with a V for Valor," The Independence Fund shared in a Facebook post.
