LITTLE BIG TOWN - THANKSGIVING TOUR - NOVEMBER 2004
Little Big Town traveled to Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan and Qatar to spend
Thanksgiving with our troops in “The Forgotten War”. They were also able to
visit several a forward operating base that had not received any
entertainment.
Traveling to Afghanistan was one of the highlights of our career. We went
over there to encourage them and in return we were the ones who were
blessed. We have been fortunate to do a lot of really cool things over the
last 7 years as a band, but the thing I am most proud of is having the
chance to entertain the men and women who protect us everyday....it was
truly life changing. They are very special people." - Karen Fairchild;
