CATOOSA – The Owasso-based Folds of Honor Foundation capped a weekend of Memorial Day Weekend events on Monday with a gala, tribute and concert by the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa.

The day began with a celebrity golf tournament and carried into a fundraising and tribute dinner at the casino.

Oklahoma musician Vince Gill has participated every year for several years, and this one was no different. This time around, though, he was a guest of honor, said foundation founder Dan Rooney.

A limited number of tickets for the gala are available to the public for $300 each and can be purchased starting April 12 through “The Joint” ticket office or at www.thepatriotcup.com.

I promise it will be one of the most moving events anyone will ever attend. And, with Rascal Flatts on stage, it will be a great cap to an incredible Memorial Day weekend.”

“The third time is the charm,” Urban told the sold-out crowd. “I can’t wait for you guys to see who is coming out tonight.”
