Wounded Warrior
Benefit Concert

Eddie Beesley was not even 20 years old when a landmine explosion in Vietnam claimed both his legs. Since that time, Eddie, with his wife Connie by his side, has become an advocate for other injured soldiers, sharing much of his time and his musical talent with his fellow veterans.

     Writing and recording music helped keep Eddie going after his injury, but he felt his reach could be farther, to help even more wounded heroes.

     An organization called Soldier’s Wish stepped in and joined forces with The Oak Ridge Boys to help Eddie reach those fellow heroes he previously could not.

Eddie wanted to help other wounded heroes overcome the pain of the past through the power of music. Now he can.

     He also recently received an award for his continued service to veterans through having his book, Lucky Enough, published in Braille.
