Toby Keith and Ted Nugent performed a free Memorial Day concert for a US military audience in Illesheim, Germany last weekend. On Monday, the two visited Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and spoke with soldiers who had been injured in Iraq.
Keith said he enjoys performing for the troops."They’re hard-working people and want peace just like everybody else,” he said. “But their mission is to make that peace.”
Nugent said meeting servicemembers was a wake-up call.
“It was a real powerful slap in the face,” he said. “The rest of the world is relaxed and comfortable, and they don’t even know why.
“We got to see the people who are fighting for that and willing to die for it.”
Damn right.
