I have to say I love being a National Guard wife. I am proud of what my husband and his fellow soliders do for our country. I like the fact that once a month he can go off and play soliders, shoot guns, and hang with the guys.
But every once in awhile our military guys/gals are rewarded for their good deeds. This past weekend was a very good reward.
Kid Rock came to Fort Jackson to put on a free concert for our military. Yes others could buy tickets and I think Fort Jackson won't be the same but boy was it worth it. I had a fabulous time and I am sure if you were able to talk to a basic training recruit out there that night they would say that experience made the 12 weeks easier to bear.
This is not the first concert he put on for soliders and I HOPE it will not be the LAST. Just wish people had left their kids at home.
Now I did not brave the field in front of the concert because I did not want to stand for 2 hours after waiting in traffic for one hour and hiking the half mile to the field from our parking spot.
Thank you Kid Rock for a GREAT performance!
