	Carter Mario’s Donation Benefits U.S. Troops and Veterans Lawyers and country music are two things that don’t naturally seem to fit together. But, in the case of Carter Mario, the two couldn’t be a more perfect fit. This spring, Nashville recording artist Jamie Tate launched an innovative new sponsorship-based music digital download platform to promote her new hit, patriotic single: “I’ll Give My All.” Carter Mario Injury Lawyers vowed to donate $10,000.00 to Jamie Tate and her label, Nashville’s Bodell Records, to allow 15,000 veterans and active-duty military personnel in the state of Connecticut to download the “I’ll Give My All” single.
