RINGS IN THE NEW YEAR
The Improv in Iraq ~
Comedy Tour returns to Kuwait and Iraq again, to
Ring
in
the New Year for 2009. Patriots Karri Turner (J.A.G.), Dave
Price of CBS's
The Early show
and comedian Michael Hitchcock once again spent their New Year
holiday entertaining the troops, as did newcomers Wendi McLendon and
Jordan Black.
"I found this to be
one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I feel so
grateful to have had the chance to give back to the women and men
sacrificing so much for our country." - Jordan Black, Comedian
"Stars for Stripes should get an award for getting entertainment
to places NO ONE will go! Judy got us to some really remote camps
again this year for our New Yr. tour. I think it means so much to
the "boots on the ground" that folks come to find them. Watching
our military giggle for an hour is about as good as it gets!"
Karri Turner, Actress
"We
throw around the word "hero" so much these days that many people
have become desensitized to it.....I'm not though. I've had the
privilege of seeing real hero's, firsthand - who demonstrate
those precious virtues through service to our country day-in and
day-out. On tour, we're so often thanked for making the trip
overseas when we might be home instead. But it's my thank-you
that's in order: To my extended military family - brothers and
sisters - who, year after year, have helped me enjoy the true
spirit of the holiday season in their company. You make me
proud." Dave Price, CBS
"Any performer out there who’s on the fence about going to the
middle east, JUST DO IT! I had the greatest time, and I always
felt safe. It was the experience of a lifetime and I can’t wait to
go back!" Wendi McLendon-Covey, Actress / Comedian
