ADKINS SET FOR USO HONOUR
Country star TRACE ADKINS is to be honoured by the United Service Organizations (USO) for his tireless morale boosting efforts to bring joy to US troops stationed overseas.
Trace Adkins at the Songwriters Hall of Fame Awards 2006 induction ceremony at the Marriot Marquis. New York City, USA - 15.06.06
The gravel-voiced CHROME singer will receive the 2007 USO Merit Award in Arlington, Virginia on 27 March (07).
Flattered Adkins, who has often travelled into combat zones to sing for troops and sign autographs on behalf of the USO, says, "Whatever I do to show support to our troops is so small by comparison to what these men and women do for us."
Adkins is the latest in a long line of recipients of the honour - they include STEVEN SPIELBERG and comedy legend BOB HOPE.
