LeAnn Rimes Gives Disabled War Vet a Van

LEANN RIMES continues to make the news. Last week I reported on LeAnn's Shape Magazine cover. Now she is the country music hero of choice for vets everywhere after presenting a specially equipped van to an disabled Iraq War veteran.

Navy Seebee Peter Reid, of Palm Bay, Florida, was injured in a mortar attack in Iraq in 2004. He was partially paralyzed, blinded in one eye and suffered a brain injury. Since then he gets around in a motorized wheelchair.

The wheelchair limited his travel because it took two people to lift the chair into his van.

Enter LeAnn Rimes, who presented a brand-new, wheelchair-accessible Chevrolet van to Peter and his wife.

LEANN plays a concert at Cypress Gardens in Winter Haven, Florida, on Saturday, June 16.
