Former Army Vet Hank Brake to Perform for Vietnam
Veterans
During Operation Welcome Home in Las Vegas
The Aviation Nation Foundation proudly announces that
Vet own Star Chaser Recording Artist Hank Brake will
perform live on stage during the Operation Welcome
Home celebration weekend in Las Vegas, NV. Operation
Welcome Home is being presented by Las Vegas and the
U.S. Air Force over Veterans Day weekend, Nov.
11-13th.
Mr. Brake's newest release, "Thank You", has been
chosen as the theme song for Operation Welcome Home,
the "Thank You and Welcome Home" event to honor the
2.7 million Vietnam Veterans who served.
Hank recorded this moving tribute, written by Daniel
Smith, in honor of all past and present members of our
Armed Forces, but most especially for his Uncle, Army
1st Lieutenant Kenneth Slaughter, who was killed in
action in Vietnam in 1970. "I finally found a way to
say Thank You to my Uncle for his service to our
country. I only wish he was here so I could shake his
hand and say it to him personally", says Mr. Brake.
"My goal is to have any American who has ever worn the
uniform, past or present, to hear the song and
understand just how much we appreciate their duty to
country and sacrifices they and their families make
while defending our freedoms. I am especially honored
to be a part of thanking those who served with my
Uncle Ken, in Vietnam."
Hank will be performing at Aviation Nation 2005—The
Nellis Air Force Base-Las Vegas Centennial Air Show,
as part of the USO show and at other events associated
with the air show. He may also perform, at a time to
be announced, during the nightly Patriots Party on
Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas. The Patriots
Party includes a salute to the USO and is free to the
public.
Hank Brake has donated hundreds of hours of time
entertaining America’s active duty military and
veterans at multiple events across the U.S., including
military and veterans hospitals.
"We are honored to have Hank Brake be a part of this
celebration, and look forward to his Thank You song
that will be performed for thousands of veterans who
will be present in Las Vegas for this momentous
occasion", said Bob Avery, Organizing Chairman for
Operation Welcome Home.

such as The Palomino in Los Angeles, California:
Gilley's in Houston, Texas: and places closer to his
Georgia home like Miss Kitty's in Marietta and Mama's

country, jazz, blues, old rock & roll, old-time
gospel, 70's and 80's pop and he really enjoys the
vocal harmonies of barbershop quartets.
