Front man, Ivan Moody, asked the audience to raise their hands if they are currently serving or have ever served in the armed forces. I raised my hand.
"Keep 'em up!", he said!
Then he encouraged the rest of the audience to shake those raised hands. A line of young metal heads lined up ... to hug me!! They all wrapped their tattooed little arms around me and thanked me for my service!
I cannot explain how moved I was! Tears filled my eyes and an incredible warmth filled my heart.
So, thank you Ivan! And thank you to all who have served this great country ~ you are deeply appreciated!

That is awesome, its alot better than the reception I received when I returned from the Gulf War, I was spat on at the airport, called a baby killer and booed by the american public...oh wait, maybe that was a 70s movie with Tom Cruise...never mind...
What do you think possessed them to do that? I wonder what is happening in their lives that they feel so grateful and patriotic.
Thank you for your service, Rebecca.
