Attributed to Trace Adkins:
?A lot of people get attention for the wrong reasons, but the true measure of a hero is serving others. Our servicemen and women stationed around the globe are the real people who fit that bill. They devote their lives to supporting our nation, protecting our freedoms and sacrificing their lives. And deserve all the recognition and thanks we can give them. Each and every USO tour I go out on is important and unique, and this one is no different.?
