Afghanistan

If you have a home, you're fortunate. Imagine not having a home country. That's a reality for many families and you'd probably be surprised exactly how many refugees have entered Missouri just in the past 30 days and the countries the fled from.

Air Force TSgt. Martin Fiorino, who just returned from a fourth-month deployment in Afghanistan, surprised his children with pop-in visits

Last year on September 11th, I was in Afghanistan serving an 8 month deployment. Omar Martinez, a member of our unit, painted this mural on the blast wall that was protecting our flight line.

Brad Paisley was asked to go on a very special secret mission to Afghanistan before Memorial Day. He hopped on Air Force One with the President and was ready to play and thank the troops before the holiday, but to make it happen Paisley had to change his schedule and take a pay cut -- not that he was complaining.

Craig Morgan recently embarked on his eleventh overseas tour, where he entertained the men and women serving abroad. While he was there, the 'This Old Boy' hitmaker was able to orchestrate a super sweet moment for a deserving couple.

Kaleb Filis, one of my best friends and our KIX Midday and BOB Afternoon Drive DJ has recently deployed to Afghanistan with the United States Air Force. He'll be there for a while, and I know he's going to be missing a lot of stuff from home (I know he's already crushed about missing baseball season).
