Craig Morgan spent more than ten years as a soldier with the United States Army before he traded the military life for a recording career. But the Tennessee native is still a staunch supporter of the service men and women stationed overseas, which is why he left this week for his ninth USO tour, this time heading to Iraq and Kuwait as part of his Not Alone tour.
"In addition to showing our support for the service men and women deployed, I find a growing sense of pride in the good our country does while on these visits," Craig writes on his website. "We are not just fighting a war and helping people gain democracy and human rights in their own country, but our military is over there building hospitals and schools ... structures and plumbing that didn't exist before 9/11."
Craig's tour, which kicked off yesterday (January 27) will include five concerts at five camps with his full band, plus several acoustic shows for personnel at Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) which are located in remote areas and rarely receive live entertainment.
