Everyone dreams of doing something they love so much, and to get paid for it, I’m just so lucky.” He’s spent countless hours performing for the troops at USO shows and bringing awareness as well as raising funds for the Wounded Warrior Project. Adkins’ grandfather was in the Army, “but I never knew him. I don’t know exactly how it all started. I got a call from the USO and I said yeah, let’s do it,” he said. “Next thing I know, I’m traveling all over the world.” When asked if there was one specific memory that stood out, Adkins said, “all of those mo- ments are special. I love the military folks. I’ve gotten to do some great things I would never have been able to do.” In addition to pre-performance meet and greet photos with fans, Adkins spent some time with local Sailors and Marines before taking the stage and delivering a solid performance to the enthusiastic crowd. Adkins’ set included crowd favorites like “Honkytonk Ba- donkadonk,” “Ladies Love Country Boys,” “,” “” and “Rough and Ready.” Adkins said he attended the Grammy Awards several years ago for the first time after being nominated for the crowd favor- ite “You’re Gonna Miss This.” “I thought I had a pretty good chance but I lost to some girl named Swift,” he said with a laugh, referring to mega artist Taylor Swift. “Wonder whatever happened to her?” By far the most memorable moment of the evening was the last song of the night, Adkins’ sad ode to the military, “Say a Prayer for Peace.” The Virginians filed onstage at the start of the song, flanking Adkins as he sang about battles during the Civil War, World War II and Vietnam. The lights fell low as the har- mony of the Virginians sang the last chorus, “say a prayer for peace, for every fallen son.” An already sobering song became haunting as the a capella harmony reached the silent crowd. As the song ended, the crowd erupted. Adkins, who had returned to the stage for an encore, said sim- ply, “I can’t possibly follow that. Thank you all for making my year,” nodding to The Virginians. The crowd began assembling about 4 p.m. for the 7 p.m. show. They enjoyed pre-concert music from DJ Rick Fortner and vis- ited a variety of food booths, including German cuisine, barbe- cue, beach-themed food, pizza and subs. Two hundred concert- goers who purchased VIP tickets enjoyed a catered unlimited buffet of crab balls, chicken cordon bleu, bruschetta, a carving station with prime rib, cheesecake, assorted desserts and more. “It was NSA South Potomac’s pleasure to work so diligently to get an artist of Trace Adkins’ caliber to the base for a show,” said Capt. Mary Feinberg, commanding officer, Naval Support Activity South Potomac. “Several months of hard work and co- ordination paid off for the entire base community. We knew going into the concert that it had been a long time since such an event was held on the base. Based on the comments NSASP personnel have heard, both during and after the event, I believe it was a resounding success,” said Feinberg. “We look forward to the opportunity to build on the momentum and success of this event and we are hopeful that we will be given an opportunity to host future concerts.” Friday, October 16, 2015 The South Potomac Pilot 5 6 The South Potomac Pilot Friday, October 16, 2015 Community Notes Dahlgren Corvette Club.
