Trace Adkins has been busy on reality show "Celebrity Apprentice,"but whether or not he makes it in coming rounds he'll definitely be taking time off to perform for Fort Sill on Polo Field July 5.

He recently made the announcement about the event which is co-produced by Fort Sill's Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation and the U.S. Army FMWR Command, Army Entertainment Division.

Adkins is a long-time supporter of the military and recently recorded several radio public service announcements with his new song, "Tough People Do." This is his second trip to Fort Sill.

He is also a spokesman for the Wounded Warriors Project, and he was a past honoree at their Courage Awards and Benefit Dinner, where he was recognized for his efforts to help raise awareness for the men and women who have been wounded in service to their country.

He's performed on seven United Service Organization tours in the past 11 years; most recently in December in Okinawa and at U.S. bases on the Japanese mainland.

Adkins has racked up more than 30 hits on the singles charts, four Grammy nominations and five Academy of Country Music and Country Music Television awards in his 17 years as a country artist.

All concert information, such as ticketing, pricing and parking will be released as the concert gets closer. Watch all Fort Sill news outlets or tune into local media stations for complete details.
