Artists Thank Troops: Lee Ann Womack and More

Lee Ann Womack was in Hawaii last week to visit with Wounded Warriors and perform for troops and their families at Schofield Barracks. Visiting the island of Oahu as part of “A Tropic Homecoming,” sponsored by the USO, Womack welcomed home more than 3,500 troops returning from a year-long deployment in Iraq.

Keni Thomas, Mark Wills, and Alana Grace are heading out from Nashville to entertain the troops in the Middle East on the “Hope and Freedom” USO Holiday Tour in December. Other tour mates include model/TV personality Leann Tweeden, and members of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.

Nashville-based country group Brokedown Cadillac have confirmed plans to perform for the troops during a Thanksgiving week tour of military bases in Iraq. The group, founded in California by singer Corri English and guitarist Randy Dunham, flew overseas last week for the tour, which runs from November 21-30.
