The Home Base Program is the first and largest private-sector program in America solely focused on healing the Invisible Wounds of War - including post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury - for Service Members, Post-9/11 Veterans and Military Families. Their Mission Gratitude benefit is the largest concert event in New England to honor the deserving men and women of the Armed Forces. The funds raised from Mission Gratitude help Home Base as they continue to heal the Invisible Wounds of War on a local, regional and national level through clinical care, wellness-based programs, fitness, education and research.

"One in three returning Veterans suffers from post-traumatic stress or a traumatic brain injury. By working together, we can give them the healthy future they deserve," said Brigadier General (Ret.) Jack Hammond, Executive Director of the Home Base Program. "We are extremely grateful to the sponsors and donors to this event, and we are honored to have the incomparable Reba headline Mission Gratitude."

The event is scheduled just two days before Veterans Day, and will feature Reba performing hits from her illustrious career as well as selections from her latest offering LOVE SOMEBODY. The Country Music Hall of Fame member and Grammy Award winner released her 27th studio album on Nash Icon Records in April, since debuting two singles "Going Out Like That" and "Until They Don't Love You."

Mission Gratitude is chaired by Jack Connors, Jr. (Chairman Emertius of Hill Hollida and Partners HealthCare; David Ginsberg (Vice Chairman, Fenway Sports Group); Peter Slavin, MS (President, Mass General Hospital); and Tom Werner (Chairman, Boston Red Sox and Red Sox Foundation).
