Darby was honored to sing “God Bless America” during the seventh inning stretch of World Series Game 3 on October 28. In an article from dvidshub.net Darby explains how much the opportunity meant to him:
“A member of the Texas Army National since 2000, Ledbetter jokingly feels he can now check one item off of his bucket list.
“I was humbled to receive the opportunity to sing at the World Series knowing there are so many great performers out there,” said Ledbetter. “Being on that field was so surreal and an honor to stand in the uniform representing the soldiers, the National Guard and the United States.”
