Gary is an outstanding human being with all the causes he supports and the free concerts he gives around the world. Well done Gary!

You can see the genuine love in his eyes for those who served our country, that's not something that can be easily faked...and both his words and actions back it up, too.

Most of Hollywood's elite put on a show of charity for the photo-op, and disappear when the cameras do.
Gary is there even if the cameras aren't. They all could learn a thing or two from Gary.

Gary will be in Fort Worth Monday night.

The Lt Dan Band is performing in our hanger for the Snowball Express.



They were here a month ago performing for the Skyball. https://skyballinfo.com/

Snowball Express provides hope and new happy memories to the children of military fallen heroes who have died while on active duty since 9/11.

I have so much respect for him and his band!

We have seen the LDB play twice. He is ALL about the guys who were or are in uniform. A coworker's spouse was very involved in his tour security ops and said he is absolutely the real deal.

Our Hanger was transformed today from an aircraft hanger to a concert venue tonight for the AA Snowball Express and The Lt Dan Band performing.

Right before I left work, Gary was on stage doing his sound check.

Right outside our work center they were preparing brisket and other food to feed 1700 people - family of fallen hero's. Robert Irvine from the food Network show Restaurant Impossible was out there cooking and supervising the food prep. The food smelled so good!

Thanks a TON for the pics! Not something this civilian gets to see very often.
Sure means a lot to the vets.

Oh and, "Area 51"

It amazing to see in action!
I painted that Area 51 sign on our work center door. They refer to us (contractors) as X51 work center.

Oh, would you like a sneak peak of what is in Area 51?

My .02...the best I seen in person was Robin Williams. The guy went out of his way to see and be seen with the folks. He always came across as making it about the troops and not the "Celebrity". On the other, the douche to make it about himself will go un-named. <coughStephenColbertcough>
