00:05.240 --> 00:09.340
when

00:09.340 --> 00:11.451
award winning musicians play shows in

00:11.451 --> 00:13.800
remote areas of Afghanistan getting

00:13.800 --> 00:15.967
them , there is only part of the job .

00:16.140 --> 00:18.251
They also need power for their amps ,

00:18.260 --> 00:20.960
food , water and of course , a place to

00:20.960 --> 00:23.127
play . We put in a lot of work , a lot

00:23.127 --> 00:25.349
of welding , a lot of cutting metal , a

00:25.349 --> 00:27.293
lot of hard work to it . Some task

00:27.293 --> 00:29.238
force , Barton soldiers at forward

00:29.238 --> 00:31.238
operating base shank added hours to

00:31.238 --> 00:33.460
their regular workday . So one visiting

00:33.460 --> 00:35.571
singer could perform in style . There

00:35.571 --> 00:37.516
was a stage is about a foot tall ,

00:37.516 --> 00:40.560
probably about six by six platform and

00:41.140 --> 00:43.460
wasn't good enough for a guy of Toby

00:43.460 --> 00:45.830
keith stature to come in and set it up .

00:45.830 --> 00:47.886
It actually broke as we picked it up

00:47.886 --> 00:49.997
with a forklift , Toby keith and crew

00:49.997 --> 00:51.997
said the stage setup was one of the

00:51.997 --> 00:54.052
best they've seen during their seven

00:54.052 --> 00:56.274
years touring Afghanistan and Iraq with

00:56.274 --> 00:58.108
the USO . Quite the compliment ,

00:58.108 --> 01:00.219
considering that adds up to more than

01:00.219 --> 01:00.370
130 shows .
