Miranda Lambert to meet soldier

The soldier who held up the sign that moved Miranda Lambert to tears in this video has been tracked down and tonight a meet and greet with Miranda has been set up. The soldier’s name is Jeff Tudisca. Tudisca is an Army veteran who saw action in Afghanistan and Iraq twice. He didn’t know Miranda Lambert or her music before deploying to Iraq, but received a mix while deployed that had two of her songs on it, “Greyhound Bound for Nowhere” and “New Strings.” “It literally stopped me right there, and ever since that moment, that’s the only person I ever wanted to listen to,” he recently said in an an interview. Jeff is elated to be able to meet Miranda but also unsure of what to say when he meets her. It will more than likely be very emotional. If they share videos we will keep you you posted! -Nick Fox
