Day 5

Today, we performed at the beautiful Miller Theater in downtown Augusta, Georgia. The staff at the theatre was amazing helping us load in and get everything set. 

​Backstage, we got a kick out of signing the performer wall, right next to Wanda Sykes who performed at the Miller earlier this week.

This young man is World War II Veteran Luciano “Louis” Graziano- he is the last known living witness to the German surrender, which ended hostilities in Europe in WWII. Louis landed on D-Day in the 3rd wave on Omaha Beach and was later in the Battle of the Bulge. He is the author of his book titled, “A Patriot's Memoirs of World War II.” What an honor it was to spend time with him and have him at the show! 

The turnout was so wonderful, we were thrilled to see so many currently serving at Ft. Gordon at the show! Erinn and Dan were also reunited with many passengers from the American Duchess where they sang last year.  We were also excited to have Brad Owens who provided his beautiful jeep at the show.

After the show, the Quilts of Valor presented two veterans with quilts- one was Louis' son, (Louis Jr.), and another was this amazingly special veteran, Ned.  The Quilts of Valor has given over 300,000 handmade quilts to veterans and we are partnering with them to give them a quilt in all 50 states, wrapping them with love from a grateful nation. ​

Our hearts are full, and we're tickled at the great response to the show, and we're all ready for a good night's sleep. Much love! -Erinn
