Kristy is currently touring all 50 states, a memorial tour in remembrance of her brother, Lt. Col. Eric Kruger, who was killed in Iraq, Nov. 2nd, 2006. Her goal is to see and appreciate the land her brother died serving. Kristy is halfway through the states on her memorial tour and more dates will be added this summer. The memorial tour is part of accomplishing one of her brother's goals he did not live to reach...to see all 50 states. Kristy's shows are open to anyone from any political background, as she shares stories and memories of Lt. Col. Eric Kruger. 20% of the profits of her shows benefit the Fisher House, a non-profit which cares for our wounded Veterans (www.fisherhouse.org)

More states to be added this summer.

States played on tour so far: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginina, Washington, Wyoming

We'd also like to tell you about a wonderful organization called the Fisher House. Because members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and must often travel great distances for specialized medical care, Fisher House™ Foundation donates "comfort homes," built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers.
These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful times - during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.

Please visit: www.fisherhouse.org to find out more or click HERE to make a contribution to this important charity.
