Fun Times

I had the chance of a lifetime.  USO brought Toby Keith to Camp Taji for a concert.  I first heard about this a couple of weeks ago at the cookout I wrote about.  I honestly thought that these people were messing with me.  Sure enough, they weren't.  I got an email the next day announcing his arrival.

Tuesday night was the big night.  It was SO exciting.  You could feel the excitement in the air.  People all over base were in good spirits.  It was great to have something fun to do.  I got to be in the front.  We arrived early and sat up front until the show started.   He played for almost 2 hours.  It was a great time.  Really great.   Here are some pictures.

PS  While I was standing in the crowd listening to Toby sing "American Soldier" to a crowd of service men and women, it occurred to me that moment might be a little more "American" than a cookout.
