Country band Thompson Square recently came to NAF Atsugi and our own MC2 Kay was able to sit down and talk with Thompson Square lead singer Keifer Thompson; Question: Why did you want to come and perform for the military? Answer: It’s rooted in our families, both of our fathers were in the Army, serving in Vietnam. I even tried to join the Marines after high school, but it didn’t work out. Many of our
close friends joined, and never came home, so it was really important for us to come out and let people know that we’re here to support our troops. Q: What’s been your favorite part of your time here at NAF Atsugi? A: Just the time that we were able to sit and just talk with these guys and gals. Hearing their stories, of all the things they’ve gotten to do in service to our

country has been a huge blessing for us. Q: Anything you’d like to tell those service men and women who live and work here in Japan? A: For as corny as it may sound, thank you. We really appreciate everything you guys do and are so greatful for the people who were able to come out and join in our concert, we really had a blast and hope that anyone who came did too.
