So there I am, a gawky thirteen or fourteen year old girl watching the TV mini-series, The Stand, for the first time. "Isn’t he cute?" I ask my cousin of the very manly Stu Redman. Now let’s fast-forward nearly ten years. Over this time, I've matured into a young woman who has gained a working knowledge of both music and theatre through my studies and, although I can still admire the looks of that man that played Stu Redman, I have come to appreciate his talent more than anything. So what's a proper Gary Sinise fan to do when she finds out that the Lt. Dan Band will be playing in Chicago, Illinois over the summer? Why, she finds a friend's floor to crash on and uses what is leftover from last semester's financial aid loan to buy her plane ticket!
And what a show it was! The Lt. Dan Band is best known for their work with USO (United Service Organizations) a program that is dedicated to helping boost the morale of the service men and women of America. This includes bringing recreation and entertainment to the troops, whether they are stationed in the country or overseas. However, the purpose of this particular Lt. Dan Band concert, Rock and Remember, on June 11, 2005 at Chicago's Park West venue was to gather funds for the Pentagon Memorial Fund, which was created to raise money to build and maintain the Pentagon Memorial in remembrance of those killed in the 9/11 attacks when flight 77 was hijacked and crashed into the Pentagon. Money is being raised privately; the US government isn’t involved, although the fund certainly has its approval.
