AWARD WINNING COUNTRY GROUP, LONESTAR, AND COMEDIAN GREG VACCARIELLO ENTERTAIN THE TROOPS IN KUWAIT & IRAQ

Multi-platinum selling country music group, LONESTAR, and comedian Greg Vaccariello, traveled to Kuwait and Iraq to entertain the troops as part of the Inaugural Tour 2009.  This was the first trip to this region to visit and boost the moral of the troops for both, Lonestar and Greg Vaccairello. 

Lonestar has 18 top 10 singles, 10 of which went to #1; "No News",  "Amazed", "Smile", "I'm Already There" and "My Front Porch Looking In" just to name a few. 
Comedian Greg Vaccarirllo has done film, theater and has appeared in several sitcoms, 'Hope and Faith', 'The King of Queens', 'Ed', and 'Law and Order; CI and SVU'.


"Going to Iraq and performing for our troops was by far the most amazing, gratifying and moving experience of my entire career. Seeing them laugh and watching them sing along to Lonestar, and meeting them after the show is something that I will never forget. I'll take the memories of working with Lonestar, Judy Seale and hanging out with the troops with me for the rest of my life."  - Greg Vac, Comedian

"Sometimes I don't understand what the news channels show, but seeing is believing, and they really are doing a great job over there.  No matter what the soldiers are going through and living without, they're professionalism and generosity still stands strong. I admire that.  You don't realize how much time and workout soldiers are putting in for our freedom until you see it with your own eyes.  …..“one of the best experiences I have ever had.”  - Cody Collins - Lonestar
