NASHVILLE, TN (PRWEB) November 6, 2004 -- Vertical Vibe recording artist Russ Lee is on an 11-day inspiration tour with troops stationed in Iraq with the United States Armys 101st Airborne Division from Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

Concerts are to be held in the battle regions of Balad, Mosul and Baghdad. This tour is sponsored in part by live sound and music division of Peavey Electronics and Vertical Vibe Records. Lee felt it was his duty as a fellow American to do what he can to encourage the troops. He never really thought of putting himself in harms way", said Kathy King, Lees Manager when you are bringing a message of faith to men who face death everyday how you can be worried about your own safety."

The goal is for me is to make contact with the troops, and to let them know there is a grateful nation of people at home who are thankful for their sacrifice," said Lee. I want to be able to shake their hands, look them in the eye and assure them that an entire family of Christian believers holds them close to their hearts and lift them up in prayer. My prayer is that a song or a word spoken when Im in Iraq will remind our troops that Gods love is strong and faithful. He is always there for them to call on."

This is Russ Lees second trip to Iraq having been there in the fall of 2003, at the invitation from the 101st Airborne Division.
