Puddle of Mudd Honored (29-Sep-2004)

DOG JAM IV ARTIST PUDDLE OF MUDD HONORED WITH BLIND SOLDIER'S BRAVERY MEDAL
         
Rock group Puddle of Mudd who will be performing on October 9th at Dog Jam IV have been humbled by one of their bravest fans after he handed them his medal of honor when they visited him in the hospital.

The hardcore band was left in tears when they met a soldier who had his left arm and part of his face blown off in a bomb attack in Iraq.

The brave soldier was recuperating in Germany and was thrilled when his favorite group visited him in the hospital after playing two shows for troops there earlier this month.

The blind soldier handed his Bronze Star to the group during a meet-and-greet in Friedberg.

Drummer Greg Upchurch says, "I just cried."
