February 2007 Staff Sgt. Aaron Thacker Praises McGehee and National Comedy Theatre: Crossing the Egyptian desert with you and the comedy troop was one of my most memorable times in the Sinai. Between the extreme poverty and the violence of the region, it was often difficult to smile. You guys changed that. It gave me a chance to laugh and see things from another perspective when life usually lacked humor. That was important to our quality of life. And the fact that you took the time to document your memories of us — the soldiers of 11 different nations who served there — in you book is quite an honor. It says a lot about your character, not to mention, that you are a regular guy like the rest of us … only funnier.
