Oh wow. This article about the USO tour in Southwest Asia got me a little misty-eyed. The statement by Karri Turner, "I've seen the faces and a lot of them are kids, but I trust them with my life." got me the most. So many of our troops are young but they're finely-trained warriors none the less.

I'm very proud of all those who volunteer to defend our country. And I'm pleased there are those who are willing to spend their holidays touring the world to entertain our fighting men and women.

Makes you look at certain entertainers a little differently. JAG is one of the few tv shows I watch. Even tho Ms Turner is an actress, it would seem that she gets a little inkling of how the military operates filming her show. To have her go on a USO tour must be quite an additional eye opener.
