Tim Maggart is an Army veteran. His family’s military service, dating back multiple generations, inspires the music he writes and records. This past weekend, he performed at the National Veterans Parade Foundation Grand Marshal’s dinner to a sold-out crowd. The next day, he sang before and during the parade in Washington, D.C.
“I honestly felt like I was born to do this. When I write and perform my music, I like to talk about the stories of those who serve as the inspiration behind the songs,” said Maggart.
He left the Army as a Captain after being commissioned as a physical therapist. Maggart continues that occupation today, and it’s a reminder of his other love, music.
“Helping combat vets and their families through physical therapy is very rewarding to me. Writing songs and performing them as a tribute to them is like answering a calling from God.”
He has written music for the House of Heroes, the National Gold Star Mothers who lost sons and daughters in combat, the Silver Star Mothers whose children came home wounded, and Blue Star Mothers whose children are active duty military.
When chapter member Tim Maggart, was asked by the American Gold Star Mothers to perform at the group’s national convention in June 2025, he not only said yes, but he also offered to write an original song. He and co-writer Bill DiLuigi wrote Heart of a Gold Star.
“Every performance leads to another awesome opportunity to honor our military. It’s a big shot in the arm for my calling.”
Maggart will perform next year in St. Louis, Sacramento, and again in Washington, DC for Memorial Day. His career is a testament to faith and a love for veterans and all who currently serve.
