    Toby Keith has always voiced his support for our country's men and women in uniform, and now he's teaming up with several NFL superstars to form Pros 4 Vets, a non-profit organization that will work to support servicemen and women and their families long after they return home from service.

    "This is a subject very near to my heart," Toby says to Herald Online. "Our soldiers leave their families to fight for us, and we want to fight for them. Long after the 'Welcome Home' parade, many soldiers face medical and legal challenges. It's our duty as Americans to take care of our men and women in uniform when they come home. We invite professionals from all fields to step up to this challenge and help American soldiers and veterans."

    The ACM Entertainer of the Year nominee will be joined by Chicago Bears player Tommie Harris, Roy Williams of the Cincinnati Bengals and Mark Clayton from the St. Louis Rams.

    Together, they will work to raise awareness about the needs of veterans, utilizing a team a doctors, lawyers and other professionals who are willing to offer their services free of charge.
