Middleton native and New England Patriots cheerleader Angela Lavoie returned last week from a two-week tour overseas to visit deployed US troops.
Six Patriots cheerleaders and their coach, Tracy Sormanti, began their tour on Dec. 20 in Kyrgyzstan and then arrived in Northern Afghanistan on Christmas Day.
They ended the tour in Qatar, celebrating the New Year with troops, having visited 12 forward-operating bases and command outposts – some with as many as 3,000 troops and others with as few as a dozen. The squad traveled via Chinook and Blackhawk helicopters, C130 and C17 airplanes.
They performed 10 full shows, ate all of their meals with the troops, signed autographs and did photo sessions and participated in several re-enlistments ceremonies.
Look for a full Q&A with Lavoie coming soon to Wicked Local Tri-Town and the Tri-Town Transcript.
