Adding to the excitement of the American Gospel Celebration, the Military Warriors Support Foundation will honor three combat-wounded heroes and/or Gold Star spouses by awarding them mortgage-free homes during the event. The foundation's CEO and founder, Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Leroy Sisco, will make the presentation.

"Come celebrate your faith and freedom with outstanding music as we explore God's Word together finding wisdom from its timeless Truth," Pastor Hagee said. "I'm also thrilled to have General Sisco join us to honor military heroes. This is an event not to be missed."

A special pre-show tailgating event outside the Expo Center each night features eat-and-greet with performers, food trucks, giveaways, and more. Plus, a social media contest yields one individual or group the chance to perform at the tailgate party.
