“It was an honor and a privilege for us to go to Kuwait and Iraq to perform for our men and women in the armed service, Our trip was life changing and simply incredible. I hope we were able to provide a little respite to our troops, who are doing an amazing job in a very difficult time. We are blown away by their dedication, and our journey there was the least we could do for them. We are also extremely grateful to Judy Seale and her Stars for Stripes organization for everything they do, and helping us achieve our dream of touring Iraq.” - Richard Patrick, lead singer, FILTER
