Twitter Pitch: @DrowningPool announces plans for third @the_USO tour

WHAT:????USO tour featuring hard rock band Drowning Pool

WHEN:????May 1 ? 8, 2013

WHERE:????UK and Germany

WHY:????When Drowning Pool hard rockers C.J. Pierce, Stevie Benton, Mike Luce and Jasen Moreno set out to promote the release of their fifth studio album, they knew they wanted to include a special ?thank you? to the men and women who serve our country and their families. And that?s exactly what the band plans to do when they take a break from their 17-day European tour to perform three USO/Armed Forces Entertainment concerts for troops and families stationed in the UK and Germany, May 1 -8, 2013.

????In 2005, Drowning Pool set out on their first USO tour visiting troops serving in Kuwait. Their second USO tour, in 2006, saw them returning to Kuwait as well as performing for troops stationed in Iraq and Germany. In total, they have performed 16 USO concerts and delivered their musical talent to more than 20,000 servicemen and women. This is the first USO tour for lead vocalist Jasen Moreno, who joined the multi-platinum band in 2012.

????As part of their continued support of our troops, on April 3, 2013, the band hosted an album release party and invited servicemen and women from their hometown of Dallas, Texas, to celebrate the launch of "Resilience." The night included a private acoustic performance and an opportunity to meet the band. More than 100 guests attended the event and all proceeds from the release party will be donated to the USO.????

Attributed to CJ Pierce on behalf of Drowning Pool:

?Our USO shows and all military shows for that matter have been one of the most humbling experiences this band has ever had. For us as entertainers there?s no better reward than putting on a rock show for our troops. Our troops will always have continual support from us, Drowning Pool. Always in our hearts, always in our minds.?
