Toby’s USO Tour Kicks Off

Toby Keith’s fifth USO tour for U.S. troops overseas began with a show on the Pakistani border in Afghanistan, near Taliban territory.

Following that show, Toby was greeted with a large welcome in Baghdad, where nearly 200 soldiers were on hand for his arrival at the airport. Toby took pictures and signed autographs, then performed a show for more than 5,000 troops at Camp Victory in Baghdad. “I am honored to perform before the brave men and women in the military,” Toby said. “It is one of my greatest pleasures to get to play for them.” Toby is traveling to the Persian Gulf and Germany on this USO tour.
