Right now Impact stars Mr. Anderson and Chris Melendez along with TNA Producer Shane “Hurricane” Helms and former Impact stars Austin Aries and Thea Trinidad (also known as Rosita) and comedian Jonny Loquasto are all in the Middle East with “Armed Forces Entertainment” visiting various bases and supporting our troops.

Melendez, also known as “The Sarge” lost his leg serving in Iraq when an improvised explosive device (IED) struck his platoon, Kris was awarded The Purple Heart for Bravery and Sacrifice for his services.
Mr. Anderson served The United States Army proudly. Check out some of the amazing sights and moments below in photos shared by everyone via social media. For all the latest follow everyone at his or her respective twitter accounts.

Checking out some sweet toys while visiting of our troops in UAE. These vehicles replaced Humvees and can withstand a direct hit by an IED. #ArmedForcesEntertainment #UAE #BadassToys

Got to spend some time with the EOD crew at a base in the United Arab Emirates yesterday. These guys literally put themselves into harm's way under the most brutal conditions possible to keep everyone safe. #ArmedForcesEntertainment #UAE #USAF #BombSquad #ExplosiveOrdnanceDisposal
