Operation
Straight Up at Fort Hood Scheduled for August 23rd & 24th, 2006
Home to over 165,000 Military Personnel
www.hood.army.mil
With spouses and
children we will touch a community of over 400,000
The OSU Tour enhances quality of life by providing entertainment in the form
of shows designed to touch the heart and soul of men and women where they need
it the most, at home. We encourage commitment in marriages, quality in
fatherhood, and covenant in relationships. We confront issues like divorce,
drugs, and uncontrolled anger that are harmful to a quality life. We feel this
produces stability in their family life and a greater peace within the families
of all operatives. Our plan is not to tame the army down but to empower it in
another dimension.
Live Entertainment at Leo
Buckley Stadium – Killeen, Texas
Thursday night, August 24th, 6:30 p.m.
We’re planning an event that is sure to be the largest live entertainment
show the city of Killeen, Texas has ever seen. Since Fort Hood is just outside
the city, we chose to hold this event off the base because the city of Killeen
is filled with soldiers and their families. It will also allow civilian
community involvement. The Commanders and Chaplains have already been briefed
and are excited to bring OSU Tour to Fort Hood to enrich the lives of their
troops.
The event will be held at the largest football stadium in Killeen, the Leo
Buckley Stadium, which is located directly behind Killeen High School. Stephen
Baldwin will MC the show and the list of entertainers below will be performing
at the event, among others. Rebecca St James will be performing a concert at the
end of the show.
Entertainers and speakers already secured for this event include:
- #16 National Guard NASCAR
- Rafael Rondon – Professional Clown & Comedian
- Joel Scrivner – World Champion in Karate
- Keith Davis – NFL Star
- Tanya Crevier – Professional Basketball Handler
- David Pendleton – Nationally Renowned Ventriloquist
- Bruce Collie – NFL Superbowl Star
- Jonathan Spinks – Undefeated Boxing & Kickboxing Champion
- Stephen Baldwin – Hollywood Actor
- Rebecca St. James – Grammy Winning Musical Artist
We have extended an invitation to the government officials to give them a
chance to say, “Thank You” to our troops. We’re in touch with the Dallas
Mavericks business office in regards to an appearance from Avery Johnson, some
of the current Mavericks players, as well as celebrities like World Heavyweight
Champion George Foreman. The show continues to grow and is sure to be one the
city of Killeen will never forget.
We expect the stadium to be filled to capacity with soldiers and their
families. We will have cable TV spots, radio, billboards, military web sites,
direct mailing, local businesses and local churches involved in the promotion of
this event. We expect great press from the media as we support our troops.
Officials at Fort Hood tell us the entire base population of soldiers will be
deployed from September through November, right after this event. The show will
encourage soldiers as they prepare to go off to war and help prepare families
for the hard times ahead. May God go with them!
Our events are always free for soldiers and their families but we will be
selling tickets to civilians in the Killeen area to help off-set the expenses
for this event. Unfortunately, no matter how much we want to put on an
incredible show for our troops, the fact is that it is very expensive to provide
an event like this. The government is unable to provide any funds for these
events. Please support your soldiers by purchasing tickets or making a donation
so a military family can attend. Every ticket purchased or donation made will
result in tickets donated to the soldiers at Fort Hood. We are still in pursuit
of businesses that are willing to support our troops by making a tax-deductible
financial contribution to OSU Tour, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. All
military personnel should seek the Chaplain’s offices on base for tickets to
this event. Everyone must have a ticket to attend the Live Entertainment show
per stadium capacity limits. Purchasable tickets can be found online at the link
below.
