Toby Keith Rocks Djibouti

Mr. Keith paid the Marines of 4th PSC a private visit at the QRF lot prior to his show on 31 May 2006. What a trooper! He had just done the CMA's in Las Vegas, hopped on a jet and found himself here in Djibouti just to be with us! The Marines and Sailors of 4th PSC thank you, Mr. Keith for making our lives and times here in Africa that much more memorable. Semper Fi!

"It was just another routine patrol in a long line of repeating and particularly hot afternoons in Africa; along for the ride, I took the hill with the Marines to see this alien world from atop rather than swelter and marinade within my own fluids in the basin down bellow. The view wasn't particularly beautiful, but the sea driven breeze from the East which met me at the summit was a welcomed relief " - "The Lion"
