Well, I've been home for a week now and I'm still going to sleep at night with the images and sounds of Afghanistan in my head. The planes and choppers flying overhead along with sirens that go off when there are rocket attacks on the base have a way of ringing in your mind for days. I have a renewed gratitude for where I live and a perspective on life that will be forever changed.
I went into this experience with little understanding of the war or why exactly we were a part of it, but after arriving, realized that didn't matter. We were there to bring happiness and a small piece of 'regular life' through our music to soldiers who needed it. The shows were awesome - Beverley, Roger, Mark, Tom and Tom - it was an honour to tour and perform with you - you're all complete gems. |
