James RogersHonorary Honor Guard AwardIf you were in the audience for James' first show of the day on Saturday, October 24, 2009,you are aware that there was a special award presentation made to him at the conclusion of that show. As a total surprise to James, Volunteer state veterans came on stage at Dollywood with 10 people in full dress uniform, one from each branch of military service and each with their branch flag. They named him an honorary honor guard member for his work to promote and honor veterans. James shared some photos that were given to him, of that special event so we all can enjoy them. THANK YOU, JAMES.
