WRIGHT'S JOURNEY OVERSEAS
On Wednesday March 7, Chely Wright returned from a 10-day journey overseas as part of the Stars for Stripes 2007 Tour. Wright visited military camps in Kuwait and Iraq to perform for the troops. This was not Wright’s first visit to Iraq, as she has visited and performed in 14 different Stars for Stripes shows. In addition, she has taken military tours in Korea and Japan.

Wright comes from a military family, making her willingness to support military troops a very personal decision.

“My grandfather served in the Army during World War II. My father was in the Navy during Vietnam, and my brother is currently an active duty U.S. Marine. Aside from the fact that I have a military history, I am just one of those Americans who is extremely thankful for the sacrifices of our service men and women. These individuals are my brothers and sisters, and I just feel like supporting our military overseas is part of my personal duty.”

Wright’s journey began on February 24, 2007 at Camp Buehring—a camp that is the “last stop” for the troops before they enter Iraq for deployment. She then traveled from base to base to meet and perform in front of thousands of men and women in uniform.

“Every time I make this trip as part of the Stars for Strips Tour, it’s difficult for me to leave. I can see the genuine appreciation in each and every one of their eyes. And as long as they are there, I will continue to go back.”

This is definitely a positive public relations article. The Iraq war is a sensitive subject with many people. The fact that Wright is willing to travel overseas during this dangerous time and perform for troops is very admirable. The public likes to see that Wright is using her fame for a great cause. She is giving the troops a chance to relax and have fun for a while as she performs. The overall goal of this article is to inform the public that Wright cares about what is going on in our country. She is not saying she agrees or disagrees with the war, but she is trying to push Americans to support our troops regardless of their political affiliation.
