U.S. Troops Treated with USO Screenings of Jay Z and BEYONCE's HBO Special ON THE RUN
It was a New Year's Eve to remember for approximately 2,000 troops stationed in Kuwait and Afghanistan as they were treated to USO screenings of HBO's "ON THE RUN TOUR: BEYONCÉ AND JAY Z," courtesy of the couple themselves. The USO screenings, which took place during the countdown to 2015, were attended by servicemen and women stationed at Camp Arifjan and Camp Buehring in Kuwait, and at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan. The New Year's-themed concert events kicked off with a pre-taped, heartfelt message from BEYONCÉ - who thanked troops for their service and sacrifice, and wished them (and their families back home) a happy new year. Throughout the first full week of 2015, photos, video and New Year's Day messages from troops poured into the USO reflecting the moment-filled experience. ***USO photo and video link below***

"It was awesome to see the message from BEYONCÉ before the show, it made me feel special," said LT Cross at Bagram Airfield. Echoing Lt Cross' sentiments was SPC Johnson of the 101st BSB 1st Brigade 1ID at Camp Buehring who said, "the message was heartfelt and it is amazing that someone at her level has the awareness and appreciation for what we do. The concert is (also) exquisite... the attention to details, the precision, and the energy is the same thing we try to bring into our training."
