American Idol Finalist Elliott Yamin to Embark on 10-Day USO Tour to Germany, Belgium and the UK in Support of Troops

Singer/songwriter Elliott Yamin will journey to Germany, Belgium and the United Kingdom to entertain service members as part of a USO/Armed Forces Entertainment tour Feb. 12-21. During his 10-day tour, the former "American Idol" finalist will dazzle troops with his powerful vocals and chart-topping hits. Yamin will also sign autographs, extend America's gratitude and share his experience of life on the road.

Devoted to supporting those serving in the U.S. armed forces, Yamin visited San Diego's North Island Naval Base in June of 2007, where he welcomed home sailors returning from an extended deployment in Iraq. While visiting the installation, he also toured the USS Boxer, ate lunch with service members, listened to stories and expressed his heartfelt thanks to Navy personnel for their dedicated service.

"I'm grateful for the opportunity to travel on a USO entertainment tour," says Yamin. "When I think about how much our men and women in uniform sacrifice and how much courage they possess, it's remarkable. I'm anxious to perform for them, it's the very least I can do."
