Tribute to the Troops is off and running, and I am so excited!

I have been asking to come on this tour for years, but it never seemed to work out. This year the scheduling finally worked out with me being on Raw and all now.

The plane ride here was awesome, a bit rough, but awesome. Just a small sacrifice for me to give back to the greatest fighting force in the world. my privilege and pleasure.

Gonna be an experience of a lifetime.  I am gonna drink a lot of Red Bull so I can soak up the whole experience, keep going as long as I can.

I am going be as much of a fan as the servicemen and women will be come show day! They have been so excited to see us so far, but they need to understand we are just as humbled and excited to spend time with them as they are with us.

It’s not their pleasure, it is ours!
