SCRIPT FOR CC:

"Country music artist Trace Adkins payed a visit to Naval Station Rota, Spain as part of his 12th USO tour. The multi-platinum artist talked about how the USO helps him give service members and their families the same show they would get state side while being overseas.”

“If we’re down range than ya I’ll take a couple guitars and we will go out to a FOB and we’ll do small little things ya know, but if I’m going to a base. I want to take the same show that everybody gets every night when I’m at home. So that’s what we do. I mean we come on these USO tours and I burden them with my whole band and my whole crew and we the light and all the bells and whistles and try to make it the same show you would get back in the states back home.

“The singer and song writer mentions how even he is at a loss for words when it comes to thanking the troops for what they do.”

“I’ve tried to come up with some profound, eloquent you know something that would make people cry and I just haven’t been able to do it, so. I just simple say thank you. And that is what we come over here to say.

Petty Officer Lauren Howes, Naval Station Rota.
