Bo Bice Entertaining Troops
Wondering where Bo is?
Try Afghanistan!
That is just awesomely amazing! And if I had to guess, I’d say Tommy’s with him since his MySpace page is filled with messages wondering where he is.
Thanks to sjohnston as always.
Edited to update: I didn’t realize that there is a whole ‘road report’ here where you can read about the trip!
Sounds like the first performance went well but Tommy is sick!
The boys got to shoot guns and it was like shooting at “real situations†because they shot at a video on a screen. My boys did really well…better than some of the troops that were also shooting.
Left there and went to the stage to sound check. The lady who usually handles the shows – Miss V – was on vacation. I was really looking forward to seeing her. But we had some other terrific folks helping us out. We were, of course, running late and didn’t have time for dinner prior to the performance. I had my first migraine in 6 months, darn it! Had a large crowd and Bo gave them a terrific performance. His guitar player is supposed to be singing background vocals, but he has that horrible cold and can’t sing. We took him to a medic but all they gave him was OTC meds. He needs antibiotics! Chief Wilson and some of his friends came over and we got to talk for about an hour prior to the performance.
Bo signed autographs and took pictures with everyone in line. He and his guys are “genuine†in their love and admiration for our military and it definitely shows.

This is just incredible! What an honor.
Stay safe Bo, and we want to hear all about it when you get back!

I am so happy that Bo was able to perform for the troops. Thomas and John are with Bo. A trip blog is attached to the website.

Aw, I love him and I’m so proud of him. He will have some awesome stories to tell. Stay safe, Bo, Thomas and JB! The troops will love you!

Wow – stay safe, guys! What an incredible honor for Bo. I have a feeling they’re going to respond to “American Blood”. WOW!

We love you Bo, Thomas, and John Beard! Heart.Bursting.With.Pride.
I think I love Jude, the “road report” writer and escort too. Any Bo tidbits and quotes are like water to us thirsty ho’s. He’s so funny.

What an experience for Bo (and Tommy and John, too)! The troops are just going to love him and they’ll become his fans just as they are his.

Wow! Fantastic news! I’m so proud of them for doing this. Bo has been wanting to do this for a long time. They are going to LOVE him! I hope Bo stays well and Tommy and John Beard get well very soon. God Speed to them all!

I’m so proud of Bo. The Stars for Stripes diary is just amazing in how it captures Bo’s humor, love of the troops, and talent. This trip is something he was meant to do.

“Bass boat, Will Robinson!” I know that our troops’ spirits will be raised by this warm, funny man, and he will come home an even more compassionate person.
Get well soon, Thomas!

Can’t wait to hear the story too. Am sure he’s as excited to tell us about it like an eight year old rushing to Mom reporting about his first baseball homerun. Get well Tommy and John, don’t let Bo get the virus (heh). Be careful as well.

I bet this will be a life altering experience for Bo. I can’t wait to hear about this adventure in his own words. I’m proud of him…he’s a special guy.

Just God bless Bo and all the troops and keep them all safe. Bo said in his New Hope testimonial that he wanted to make this happen. I just get chills imagining Bo singing American Blood to American troops.
February 7th, 2008 at 7:04 am
I’m so proud of him. I can’t wait to hear all about it. Lucky troops.
February 7th, 2008 at 8:01 am
I love Bo. He’s such a good guy.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:04 am
I get chills & the warm fuzzies too when I think of Bo performing American Blood for the troops there. Could this be what this song was waiting for?
February 7th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
WOW!! Loooved that detailed report. I love Jude too! Hope he keeps the “juicy tid-bits” coming. Some of it had me in stickes!!
Hey, let Jude know that Tomato juice will get that nasty skunk smell out. Poor guy!
SOOOOO AWESOME BO’S DOING THIS FOR OUR TROOPS!!! What a sweetie!! Tommy too, esp. since he’s so sick.

I. Love. Him.

This definitely gives new meaning to the term “street teaming”.
I’m so proud of Bo I could burst. Now he can add this to his list of dreams come true. I’m sure it was on his list.
To quote a very wise man, “It’s all good”.
February 7th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
I just love him! Stay safe guys! And I want to hear every detail!! :)
February 7th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
Bo’s just the best ever! Be safe boys.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
I couldn’t imagine a better thing for Bo to be doing! So proud and happy for him.
