Well-known for the support and pride he holds for
our country, Lee Greenwood regularly tours with the United Services
Organization (USO), most recently in September 2003. After thirty
albums, Greenwood has his foot planted firmly in the music industry
and is a respected musician. He continues to maintain a rigorous
touring schedule, including visits to military bases and performances
at government functions, including the Veteran's Day ceremony at
the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Lee noted in
a recent interview: “A lesson we all collectively learned
as a nation on 9-11 is that the ground shook, but when the dust
cleared, we stood strong—prouder than ever to be Americans.”
Darryl Worley
Entertainer
Wednesday, October 18
Country music star Darryl Worley’s hits, "I
Miss My Friend," "A Good Day to Run" and "Have
You Forgotten," have propelled him to the top of the charts,
making him an instantly-recognizable beacon of patriotism. He has
played for men and women of the Armed Forces on many different
stages, including entertaining troops in Afganistan during Christmas
2002. When Worley returned, he overheard a conversation about the
Global War on Terror, and it quickly drove him to write the all-popular
song, "Have You Forgotten." In early 2003, it topped
the country charts and brought him an Academy of Country Music
Top New Male Vocalist award nomination.
Norsia Harrison
"Sergeant H"
During his 16 years on active duty,
he continued to be promoted within
the sergeants ranks with his highest grade being that of Sergeant First
Class and served in various increasingly responsible positions to
include, infantry squad leader, platoon sergeant, company acting 1st
sergeant, S2 NCOIC and operations sergeant.
As a family man on active duty, Norsia often times found himself
separated from his loving wife and three young children, but like many
other military families, they understood and fully supported his
sacrafice of service.
Among many other deployments, he spent 12 months in the gulf region and was
also deployed to Mogadishu, Somalia in 1993. Norsia was assigned and directly
involved for several months in ground operations in Mogadishu during the time
of extreme hostility to include the period in which the Black Hawk Down episode
occured.
