Kellie Pickler USO Tour: Singer's Sixth Trek Includes Blackhawks

Kellie Pickler is wrapping up her sixth USO tour entertaining troops abroad. This installment served as the first leg of the annual USO holiday tour, and included the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, as well as Washington Nationals pitchers Ross Detwiler and Craig Stammen, to name a few.

"It brings me joy to be overseas with our service men and women during the holidays," Kellie tells the USO of her seven-day, four-country trip, "and like all of my past USO tours, this year's trip has been amazing and I am grateful to be a part of it."

There's no telling where you'll go or what you'll do on one of these treks, as the songstress knows all too well. "We never find out like where we're going to be going until we get on the plane and they hand us our tour book," Kellie tells The Boot.

This time around, though, Kellie took to Twitter to give fans glimpse of her adventures. On Dec. 13, she posted, "Flew on & off an aircraft carrier today!!!!" along with the above photo. She also responded to a fan who tweeted that the North Carolina native had flown with their sibling in a Blackhawk in Afghanistan, saying, "It was awesome."

See more photos from the trip on the USO's Flickr site here.

Kellie has always been a favorite of mine, and I suppose always will be. Her winnning ways just makes her so special to my heart. Always sharing, and caring about others.

I agree. I LOVE Kellie Pickler. I love herpure country voice, her out spoken attitude, her shaving her head for cancer. She is a true beauty inside and out. Why she got dropped from record company?? Some things just don't make sence and that's one of them Her 100 Proof is her best record to date. Why not give her some time?? That's the music biz for ya!XO

I absolutely LOVE that Kellie goes over seas and performs for our troops. She really is a gem. More should make the time.
