She wrote, "Not every Christmas do you get to fist bump a soldier while dangling your feet off the back of a Chinook flying in Afghanistan. Merry Christmas from the Middle East.”
The “Dancing With the Stars” winner is visiting two countries and performing five shows for the "Every Moment Counts" campaign. It encourages Americans to show their support for the troops by creating everyday moments for military families by visiting USOmoments.org in order to learn about the challenges soldiers and their families face or to donate to the USO.
Pickler said in a statement, "Every Moment Counts is especially close to my heart because it not only recognizes their personal sacrifices, but gives Americans the opportunity to thank our troops with a special gift of a moment."
