Reggae artiste and U.S. Marine Gulf War veteran Shaggy will be among those recognised for his service and support for fellow veterans at the Boston Veterans Day Dinner this Thursday.
The fundraiser will take place at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.
The night aims to honor the service of military families and recognise the nonprofit's biggest supporters.
Shaggy said via a statement that he is honoured to be associated with such an important event and looks forward to continuing a friendship with Home Base for years to come.
Ahead of his formal recognition, Shaggy will take part in a live discussion about his music career, his military experience and support of veteran causes.
The Little Mermaid live
Meanwhile, the diamond-selling Grammy award-winning artiste is ready to take on the role of Sebastian the lobster, in tomorrow's live production of The Little Mermaid on American television network ABC.
Last week, promotional trailers were released which feature Shaggy's distinct Jamaican sound on the theme song Under The Sea.
The song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1990.
