Toby Keith concert

1 May - While Kim and her Mom and Aunts were travelling, Jamie and I attended a Toby Keith concert at Ramstein Air Base. It was sponsored by the USO. Tobu is a huge supporter of the military and this is his 14th USO tour. He arrived the night before from Korea and was on the way to Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait for more concerts. The concert started at 8pm but the doors to the hanger opened at 7pm. Since the concert is free, they line starts pretty early. Jamie and I arrived at about 5pm to stand in line outside. The concert was held inside an aircraft hanger. We got in and went to the standign room only area and we were about 10 rows back. There were about 2,500 people there. there were some bleachers but not many. there were about 20 Wounded Warriors from Landstuhl Hospital there as well. The concert was about 1 hr long and really good. Jamie had a good time and knew most of the songs. The USO does alot of these type concerts and visits of people to the troops all over the world. If anyone asks - How can I support Soldiers, contributing to the USO is a great way to do that.
