WHO: Country music star Aaron Tippin performs for airmen at McGuire Air Force Base Aaron's career was launched when his debut single, "You've Got to Stand for Something," reached the Top Ten in 1991 and became an anthem for a nation embroiled in the conflict of Desert Storm.

Aaron quickly became a voice of patriotism, a badge he wears proudly and has carried with him throughout his career. Ten years later, he cut the track, "Where The Stars And Stripes And The Eagle Fly," immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks and donated proceeds from the commercial single, which zoomed to No. 2 on the Billboard chart, to the Disaster Relief Fund of the Nashville Area Chapter of the American Red Cross.

"Country fans went out and bought the record to help other Americans who needed help at the time," Aaron says. "That's common of what real country fans are like."

WHAT: Air Force Services wanted to host a special concert for airmen retuning from service overseas in Iraq. They contacted Armed Forces Entertainment to help them bring in top talent, and Aaron fit the bill. The concert also will be filmed by TLC Trading Spaces as part of a segment featuring airmen and their families. The program is slated to air on December 3.

WHEN: Friday, November 4, 2005, 4 p.m.

WHERE: McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey

WHY: Over the last 54 years, entertainment has served as one of the biggest morale boosters for U.S. Troops. From the first muddy, make-shift stages where theatrical performers sang and danced for military personnel and their families to today's showstoppers that reach military bases around the world, the Department of Defense has made entertainment a top priority.
