On Monday, nine famous men – four in heavy makeup – said they’re taking their guitars on the road to support the troops.

Kiss and Def Leppard announced their Heroes Tour during a press event at the House of Blues in Los Angeles. The tour – which starts June 23 in Utah – will cover more than 40 dates coast-to-coast. A dollar from each ticket sold will be split among multiple military support organizations, including the USO.
Troops who want to check out the show should visit kissonline.com/heroes for discount details.
KISS - which will be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next month - is no stranger to supporting the military. In 2011, the USO’s Joseph Andrew Lee talked to guitarist Paul Stanley about the band’s support for wounded warriors.
Every day, America’s service members selflessly put their lives on the line to keep us safe and free. Please take a moment to let our troops know how much we appreciate their service and sacrifice.
