It's really hard to pass the gravy when you're 1/2 way across the world.
Aaron Tippin just returned home after spending Thanksgiving with U.S. troops serving in Kuwait and Iraq.
Aaron spent one day in Kuwait and five days in Iraq performing for service members on a tour sponsored by Stars for Stripes. He took thousands of photos and signed more than 4,000 autographs for our military personnel.
"Every time we go over there they always tell me what a blessing it is for me to come and perform for them," Aaron says. "It's more of a blessing for me than they'll ever know."
Accompanying Aaron and his band was Fox News correspondent and military advisor Bill Cowan, who spoke before every show, thanking the military personnel for their patronage and for fighting for our country.
"You know, going over there and seeing for yourself is seeing what's real," Aaron says. "We're winning the war...the evidence is there."
While touring in the U.S., Aaron regularly donates his time to perform for charities and special events that honor the U.S. military. He is also the spokesman for the Paralyzed Veterans of America and for the Armed Services YMCA. This was his third tour of this particular region and fifth time entertaining the troops since becoming the first singer to entertain our military in Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf War in 1990 with Bob Hope.
