Remember Aaron Colton?

A few months ago I posted about the 14-year old street biker who wanted to use his incredible abilities to entertain the troops. He wanted to find a way that he could go to one of the war zones in person and perform for the troops to attempt to uplift their spirits and to thank them for what they are doing.

Well, it seems Aaron found this little blog and posted a comment. I've placed it here so everyone can see what's going on with his attempts:

I just wanted to thank you for picking up on my desire to give the troops a little lift from home. They have to feel pretty depressed thinking that none of us have enough guts to stick it out when we are living in luxury and they are the ones that are making all of the sacrifices and living the misery.

I really do appreciate the military support blogs that have helped publicize what I am trying to do. We are making progress and we have hired a publicist. Calling the USO can help, especially if you have a connection with the military. I know from the troops that I have performed for that they love the show. And I am sure the support that I can show by going to Iraq and Afghanistan will mean all that much more for them and really bring the message of the support they have from many many people at home. It also reminds them of home and what they are fighting for, because many write and say that they can not wait until they can get back to America and hop on their motorcycles again and ride and stunt and be free.

I wish the soldiers could just feel how much love and pride my family alone has in its hearts for them. When I think of how many guys might feel that we have let them down and turned away from what they are giving their lives for and yet go out every day and do their jobs and face death again and again! Shame is not a strong enough word.

Thank you everybody and please find a way to show your patriotism and support. I have found that just my one persons support can affect many soldiers.

Folks, that's someone much wiser than their age of 14 years might show. Thank you for stopping by here, Aaron, and thank you for actually supporting the troops. I hope you get to head to one of those places soon. I know the troops will appreciate it.
