You forgot the tissue alert!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...but getting a standing ovation from 150 service men and women in a war zone was the greatest honor Ive had as an American, and outside of the day I got married the best feeling Ive ever experienced. I mean, we came here to thank THEM; theyre the ones doing the hard part of the equation, its my honor to perform for them, and they feel the need to thank us? Their response was overwhelming, and what made it almost indescribable was that it was genuine. They meant it. The Colonel meant it. Ive always been a patriotic person to the point that another comedian nicknamed me The Star Spangled Comic but Ive never been prouder to be an American than tonight.

Seriously appreciative comic, scared to death and cheering up our courageous troops ~ who thank him (with just enough funny lines to disarm you for the next 'dang, he made me cry again' moment!).
Blurry screen alert!

So theres a long way to go on this trip, but day one says the media is full of crap. Ha! I note he kept a running score on the media. What a great post! Thanks, Valin!

but for the millionth time I learned that no matter where you go, most folks are just folks.
Just about the best, to me, of the whole beautiful piece.

Thanks for the ping, RC. Love your Blurry Screen Alert....I know right away to grab the tissues. It was *giggle*...*sniff* throughout. :-)
Wonderful post, Valin. God bless these young comedians for making this trip to bring smiles and laughter to the troops.
