The 2014 U.S. Army Soldier Show tour schedule has been released. From a poem scratched by a prisoner on the back of an envelope during the War of 1812 to troops smart-phoning home from Baghdad, the 2014 U.S. Army Soldier Show brings the enduring story of how soldiers and their families "Stand Strong" to Joint Base Lewis-McChord at 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 8.

"The show tells the Army story - via music, song and dance - by showcasing those things that instill strength and character in our soldiers and their families, inspiring them to exemplify Army values and take care of themselves and each other," said Lt. Gen. David Halverson, commander of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command, the headquarters element for Army Entertainment and the Soldier Show, in a news release.

According to a released statement, the show weaves physical readiness training, the Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention program, sponsorship, ceremonial drill and even the loss of a soldier and suicide prevention into the production.

Included in the cast of singers and dancers is Pfc. Kiari Mhoon of Joint Base Lewis-McChord. As you may remember, Mhoon represented JBLM during last year's Operation Rising Star competition.
