KISS visits Augusta's Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center
After inviting Augusta's wounded warriors to their October 23rd concert in Atlanta, rockers from the group KISS traveled to Augusta to see those who could not make the trip. Paul Stanley, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer came to the Active Duty Rehab Unit at the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center to sign hundreds of autographs, take hundreds of photographs and pass out KISS t-shirts to soldiers and Marines recovering there and at the Warrior Transition Battalion on Fort Gordon.
"Spread the word. This is great place here."
