FIRST SFS TOUR TAKES PLACE IN KUWAIT AND IRAQ DURING THE 2003 CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY SEASON:
The first “official” Stars for Stripes tour on December 21st-January 3rd in Iraq and Kuwait was a resounding suc
cess both for our troops and the celebrity entertainers. Warner Brothers recording artist Jolie Edwards (www.jolieedwards.com) and Broken Bow recording artist Craig Morgan (www.craigmorgan.com)
performed acoustically in remote sites throughout Iraq and Kuwait where the
soldiers definitely needed a boost in morale. The holidays are an espe
cially
difficult time for the troops who are deployed in foreign countries and unable
to be with their families and friends during the holiday season. Craig and
Jolie, both of whom have small children of their own, deserve special thanks for
giving up their holidays with their families to bring some much needed Christmas
cheer and entertainment to our troops.
