Head on over to GAC to read Nan Kelley’s account of her trip to the Middle East with Craig Morgan and Chris Young.  The trio headed overseas for the GAC Special Stars for Stripes Wounded Warriors Return. It sounds like a blessed trip of fellowship, music, and lots of shaking hands…touching the hearts of the three and thousands of soldiers.

I was so moved that while I was there to tell them thank you, every one of our finest kept saying to us, ’Thank you for coming all this way for us. We appreciate it so much!’ And all I could say back was, ‘If you can spend a year or more of your life out here, away from your family, putting yourself in harm’s way, I sure can spend a week of my safe, protected life trying to give back.’

Our troops really appreciated the music and the fellowship! And the music—Craig and Chris were just amazing! What great guys—the troops loved their songs. Their banter and their humor with each other was so entertaining. They did it ‘in the round’ style—which is truly unique to country music and that relaxed, warm, very funny and sincere feeling was all over it. I was so proud to be on this team as I stood there and watched every night. And though I knew these feelings would overwhelm me while I was there, what completely floored me day by day were the actions and words of the two wounded heroes we traveled with, the reception they received and the heroism they demonstrated by returning to the country that almost killed them both.
