Trace Adkins -- Giving Back to Those That Serve


Well, I've been in a military frame of mind today -- thinking about those that serve and have served their country. So, I might as well continue a little bit more in sharing about my thoughts.

There is a special I want to watch on TV which is scheduled to air numerous times over the next few weeks. I hope I can arrange my schedule to catch it. (no I don't have TIVO or DVR -- you'd think I would, but nope -- I don't get to watch much TV).

The special is a ten-day trip taken by country music star Trace Adkins (a genuine guy who you may have seen on Celebrity Apprentice and the Macy's Day Parade). Trace, sponsored by the USO (see post below) visited the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan as a way to thank them for the sacrifices that they make everyday for us and our country.

Trace is extremely patriotic and will be the first to tell you so. Several of his songs are chill provoking if you love your country. (I hope if you are living here that you do -- even though I am not foolish enough to think that some of you just exist without a thought about it.)

The special airs on GAC and if you don't get that channel, you can call your cable company and request it. It definitely is a great channel to add and one that you won't mind your children watching either (gee, that is almost unheard of in these times).

Show times are:
November 29, 2008 10:00 PM ET
November 30, 2008 2:00 AM ET
November 30, 2008 4:00 PM ET
December 11, 2008 8:30 PM ET
December 12, 2008 12:30 AM ET

The link below is a little promo piece I found in my search. Check it out -- it has a video clip of the show as well.

Also, below is fan-video to one of Trace's new Songs "Til The Last Shot's Fired".
I hope you enjoy it -- it gave me goosebumps.
