World renowned tenor Anthony Kearns was presented with a Granite State flag by MooreMart's Brian Moore, Sergeant First Class, for singing at a benefit for MooreMart on Thurs., March 24 in Derry. The flag had previously been flown by the state National Guard in Afghanistan.
Mr. Kearns is one of the world's leading tenors. He performed for a crowd gathered to support the charity at a reception at "Promises to Keep" in Derry, NH. MooreMart is a Nashua-based nonprofit group founded by the Moore family that sends supplies and care packages to American troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Brian Moore, a founder of MooreMart who presented the flag to Kearns, stated: "It was an honor to have Anthony Kearns deliver such an inspiring performance for our community." Paul Moore, a cofounder of the organization, said: "Anthony Kearns has proven that he is passionate about helping American troops in any way he can. It was a true privilege to have him perform for us -- it was a concert we will never forget."(Pictured: PC Algers, Tenor Anthony Kearns, Patrick Healy, and Brian Moore, founder of MooreMart)
