Toby Keith heads to Gulf
Tuesday, April 22, 2008 – Toby Keith will soon
return to the Persian Gulf region to perform for the troops as part of a USO
entertainment tour. Participating in what will be his sixth USO tour, Keith
plans to visit small, remote forward operating bases, greet newly deployed
service members and perform 18 shows in 6 days. He will also sign
autographs, pose for pictures and express his gratitude to America's armed
forces.
Keith has repeatedly visited troops and has worked with the USO since 2002, performing over 100 shows, traveling to more than 10 countries multiple times and entertaining more than 100,000 service members.
"There's no denying I am definitely busy these days but no matter how busy I am, I always make the time to visit our nation's troops," said Keith. "They all mean a lot to me and my trips overseas to visit them is what I look forward to every year. I only wish everyone had the opportunity to travel with the USO as it's been the experience of a lifetime for me."
