May 8, 2008 — Phil Vassar took a seat at a piano on the lawn at the White House on Tuesday as President George W. Bush presented six military spouses with the Presidential Volunteer Service Award.
Phil sang the national anthem at the ceremony, attended by 1,100 on Military Spouse Day. He also served up three of his own songs: "Love Is A Beautiful Thing"; "I’m Alright," a hit he wrote for Jo Dee Messina; and the venue-appropriate "American Child."
The performance came as Phil is making plenty of waves in country music. His current single, "Love Is A Beautiful Thing," ranks at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and at No. 19 on GAC’s Top 20 Country Countdown. He’s also the Artist of the Month at GAC.

Other prizes include a video message from Phil, a copy of his album Prayer Of A Common Man and $500 in FYE gift cards.
