operation straight up at fort bragg
SUCCESS!Operation Straight Up at Fort Bragg, North Carolina October 28, 29 & 30th, 2005 OSU Tour wrapped up a power-packed weekend on October 28, 29 & 30th. We experienced success at Fort Bragg and witnessed many soldiers' lives forever impacted by the OSU Tour team. Below is our list of performers, entertainers and celebrities we secured for this event. Fort Bragg soldiers were able to get autographs and meet these people personally.
They report over 40,000 soldiers rotate through the Fort Bragg unit on a continual basis. 65,000 military personnel are currently stationed at this base. This is the hot spot for war-ready operatives. We were invited to perform continual entertainment shows at Fort Bragg. Soldiers here are either being deployed “to war” or being debriefed “from war.” For soldiers headed “to war” it could be the last chance they get! For soldiers headed home to their loved ones, they could go with a real sense of how to conquer the enemy that has been destroying the family for over 2000 years. OSU Tour plans on getting them in fit-shape and battle-ready for a different kind of enemy. About Fort BraggKnown as the "Home of the Airborne and Special Operations Forces".
