Leonard Wood, Missouri and Sunday at Ft, Knox, Kentucky - which brings them back to their home state and close to home. "When the opportunity came up for us to do some shows at military bases we jumped at it! We can't do enough for our guys and gals in the military and this is just one small way we can show our thanks and support," interjected Montgomery. "I'm looking forward to this weekend - we get to party and bring a little MG style fun to some of our military bases. I just wish we could play at all the bases across the country - wouldn't that be a wild tour?" added Gentry.
