Shaboozey Responds to Backlash About His Grammys Speech

Craig Morgan Searches for Fan With Prosthetic Leg After Life-Changing 2013 Encounter

Country star and soldier Craig Morgan is turning to his fans for help tracking down a fan whose story left a lasting impact on his life more than a decade ago.

In a recent social media post, Morgan shared a powerful memory from September 6, 2013, when he headlined the Washington State Fair shortly after releasing his album Journey. Following the show, Morgan took part in an autograph session, an experience that would unexpectedly become one of the most meaningful moments of his career.

“On September 6 of 2013, I headline the Washington State fair. I just released a new album called Journey. So after the show I did an autographed session there was a young gentleman there who had a prosthetic leg and wanted to tell me a story,” Morgan wrote.

The man waited as the “Almost Home” singer finished signing autographs and meeting with the other fans.

“I tried to get him to go ahead and tell me his story but he insisted on waiting until everyone was through,” Morgan recalled. “It was a story that changed the way I looked at what I was doing in the music world.”

While Morgan didn’t share details of the story itself, he made it clear that the interaction deeply impacted him and has stayed with him ever since. Now, more than 12 years later, he’s hoping to reconnect.

“If anyone knows who he is and can get him to respond. We would like to talk to him,” he shared.

Fans quickly flooded the comments section, praising Morgan for the heartfelt post and offering to help spread the word in hopes of locating the man.

“I’m in washington. I’ve got this to our local radio station and a few local groups to that area. Lets find him,” one user urged.

Another shared, “I used to bring groups of Wounded Vets from JBLM/WTB through my nonprofit Operation Ward 57 during that time to the fair for concerts/meet and greets. It might not have been my group but might be able to narrow down who.”

At the time of publication, it does not appear that the individual has been located. If anyone has leads, please reach out to Craig Morgan on his official Facebook page.
