Letters

The show in Frisco was my second KISS concert. I never thought I was a fan. But my husband took me to a show in Austin a few months back and I loved it. After Saturday night, I am more than just a KISS fan. I realized that this band is truly committed to the American soldier. When Paul came onstage waving a huge American flag and talking about soldiers returning broken in body and spirit, it made me remember my husband coming home. When he led the crowd of men my dad's age in biker jackets, active duty soldiers, like my husband, and kids my daughter's age (some in KISS makeup) in the pledge of allegiance, I was touched beyond words. I looked at my husband and saw tears. The gratitude from soldiers and their families for that HUGE check is immeasurable. But it does not compare to a band showing a big crowd what it means to be patriotic. Our American heroes do not get the thanks they deserve often enough. It is awesome that KISS took the time to demonstrate to everyone that they deserve it. I am now a life long KISS fan. Thanks for a great show and a gesture that I will never forget. I know the wounded warriors here, at Fort Hood will appreciate every penny. KISS, you rock in every way! Thank you from a military wife and her family.
