THE NIGHT WE WENT TO WAR
OUT OF ALL THE BON JOVI CONCERTS I'VE BEEN TO THIS ONE MINT THE MOST TO ME. MY SISTER AND MY NIECE WENT WITH ME. MY NIECE IS IN THE NATIONAL RESERVES AND WAS WAITING FOR HER ORDERS TO IRAQ.SHE WAS IN A VERY WORRIED STATE OF MIND.AND I THOUGHT A BON JOVI CONCERT WOULD HELP, I NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH. LACEY WAS NOT A BON JOVI FAN REALLY SHE JUST NEW HER AUNT BARBI AND MOM HAD ALWAYS BEEN DEVOTED FANS. WHILE AT THE CONCERT WE WENT TO WAR WITH IRAQ IT WAS AROUND 9:00 P.M. JON DEICATED A SONG TO ALL THE MILITARY PERSONAL LEAVING FOR WAR AND THOSE THAT WERE THIER. "THE DISTANCE" LACEY SAT DOWN AND PUT HER HEAD DOWN AND STARTED TO CRY, I ASKED HER IF SHE WAS ALRIGHT, SHE TOLD ME SHE HAD NEVER BEEN SO TOUCHED BY JONS WORDS AND THE WORDS OF A SONG AND NEVER SO PROUD TO BE A NATIONAL GUARD. AFTER THE CONCERT LACEY TOLD ME SHE NOW UNDERSTOOD WHY I HAD BEEN A BON JOVI FAN SO LONG. SHE LOVED HIS MUSIC!!
MY SISTER AND NIECE WENT BACK HOME AND THANK GOD LACEY NEVER GOT CALLED OVER SEAS. MY HUSBAND AND I WENT TO SEE THEM ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER AND SHE NOW KNOWS EVERY WORD TO EVERY SONG ON THE BOUNCE CD, YES SHE WENT STRIGHT HOME AND BOUGHT THE BOUNCE CD. LACEY AND I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT CONCERT, SHE WAS SO SCARED ABOUT GOING TO WAR BUT BON JOVI GAVE HER A PEICE OF MIND THROUGH HIS MUSIC AND WORDS.
