Country music entertainer Aaron Tippin, above, presented Marine Sgt. Mike Freeman, and Sgt. James DeLeo with a Huffy bicycle that he put together on stage during his performance Saturday afternoon at the Oregon Jamboree in Sweet Home. Tippin donated the bicycle to the Marine Corps' annual Toys for Tots program that benefits underprivileged children nationwide. "Wherever I go, I tell people I've never been more proud to be an American," Tippin said later during his time on stage. Freeman and DeLeo are recruiters based in Albany.
