Tim McGraw giving mortgage-free homes to veterans

Country music star Tim McGraw has already given six mortgage-free homes to U.S. veterans this year and plans on giving more before his tour ends this fall.

McGraw teamed up with Operation Homefront and Chase Bank to provide a total of 36 homes free of charge to military veterans. The singer has 30 stops left on his 2015 Shotgun Rider Tour and plans on giving one house away at each of the remaining stops.

This isn't the first time McGraw has given free homes to veterans. Since joining the operation in 2012, McGraw has given away over 100 homes, according to a statement on the singer's website.

In a recent promo video for the homes' giveaway, McGraw said he wanted to give back to veterans who risk everything to protect their country.

"For them to be able to come back and have that same sort of security for their little girls and their little boys and their wives, and to be able to have a home that is secure and safe is something that really hit home for me," McGraw said.
