Kyle's band, Mice and Rifles, was contacted a few weeks ago from a troop in Tagab, Afghanistan called "WAR EAGLE." Somehow they heard Mice and Rifles and have become such huge fans they have made them the official band of their troop. As if that isnt amazing enough, they just received the email below from the Task Force Commander....
"From LTC Rocky...
Hope you are doing well buddy.
I've attached 3 photos for you guys.
1178 is a photo of us returning from a patrol with French troops.
1497 is a Mice and Rifles special, we had a 9-11 Memorial 10K run on the
FOB, it was a team run....we were Team MICE and RIFLES.
1536 is a photo of us flying 11 US flags 2000ft over the FOB on SEP 11th
in recognition of those that died on 9-11 and those that have died the
eleven years since defending the US and deterring future attacks against
our great country. One of the eleven US flags will be sent to you guys.
Talk soon buddy....thanks for supporting TF WAR EAGLE.
Respectfully,
Rocky"
According to Kyle, "It is not enough to say that we are so honored to be mentioned by such a great group of guys defending our country. Its awesome that our music has reached them and is bringing them a piece of home and hopefully making the soldiers' lives a little bit better. We will forever be TF War Eagle supporters, fans and friends."
