About Stars for Stripes
Stars For Stripes is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing quality entertainment to internationally deployed U.S. military forces. Bringing together professionals from aviation, entertainment and the military, Stars For Stripes is improving the overseas tour experience for performers, sponsors, donors, and most importantly, for the dedicated men and women protecting our national interests. We support their commitment. We honor their service. We understand their sacrifice. WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
How does Stars For Stripes work?
Stars for Stripes, working in conjunction with Armed Forces Entertainment (AFE), USAREUR (US Army Europe), and MWR (Morale, Welfare and Recreation) strive to take quality, celebrity entertainment into the remote sites where the troops need the moral boost the most. Entertainers who participate in the tours experience military life first-hand as they live and eat where the troops live and eat, are transported in military vehicles, and perform for the most appreciative audiences they will ever entertain. Following every performance, entertainers sign autographs for everyone, no matter how long the line or how many hours it takes for everyone to get an autograph and have their photo made with the celebrity.
