STEVIE NICKS QUIETLY VISITS BETHESDA IN JUNE

"Singer Stevie Nicks visited, leaving an iPod with her favorite music for him and lotions for his mom."

Background:

For the last number of years, Stevie, on a regular basis, quietly visits the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland supporting and visiting with the U.S. troops and donating hundreds of iPods to soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.

She explains, "I refuse to be pulled into the politics of war. But once these soldiers sign up, go to war and come back to a hospital, I will do whatever it takes to make them better." Nicks provides iPods loaded with her favourite music.
