I just really do. It’s such a great event, and I am so honored to sing as a part of the Veterans Day special.” Since coming in third place on season six of “American Idol,” Doolittle has been touring the country with a band and back-up singers, as well as an occasional symphony, but she explained that she’s never had a more special ex- perience than getting to sing with The U.S. Air Force Band.
