On Friday, November 10th Gary and his Lt. Dan Band performed a benefit concert for Operation Iraqi Children at the Uptown Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri.
And we have to love You Tube. Here’s a snippet of Gary with his heartfelt words to the U.S. troops on stage that night:
If anyone was at the show, feel free to share with us what a great time you had!

We posted last week about about Gary’s White House visit for America Supports You, complete with CNN coverage. Not everyone involved was a celebrity — far from it, in fact. We have hometown newspaper coverage about the experience of the volunteers behind Operation Ensuring Christmas and Operation Shoebox.
Gary was at the White House today, working to get the word out about America Supports You, an organization that helps ordinary citizens provide support to U.S. servicemembers.
(I’ll update this later with more links and hopefully a photo or two.)
