On March 12, 2006, Gene Daniels had the privilege of entertaining returning troops from the Massachusetts National Guard 42nd Division at the Taunton Holiday Inn. The soldiers of the 42nd Division had recently returned from duty in Iraq.

There was morning ceremony at Taunton High School honoring the troops. Gene Daniels provided musical entertainment at the Taunton Holiday Inn ceremony in the afternoon. It was an enjoyable afternoon for the troops, their families, and their friends.

Gene Daniels was thrilled to be a part of this memorable event and wishes to thank all of the troops for their service to our country.
