How to invite Michael Bolton to a monument when he is in the area?

My name is Michelle and I'm an Iraqi Freedom Camp Bucca, Iraq 2003-2004 veteran. This past November we dedicated the first Iraq War Monument in the country to honor everybody living and deceased who served in Operation Desert Storm/Shield, Operation Enduring Freedom (Iraq only), Operation Iraqi Freedom & Operation New Dawn. If you look at my profile picture, that is the monument.

What would be the easiest way to invite Michael Bolton to the monument when he is in the Fort Myers area on March 18, 2014? Should I e-mail or should I snail mail it?

For more information please go to our website:

Can't give you any information on what to do except for right now to make contact, although I am sure she will see this discussion, with Gail our moderator on site here and am sure she will be able to advise.

I have come on to wish you well and success in getting Michael to attend as well as to congratulate you on a beautiful and fitting monument. I should also like to take this opportunity to thank you, personally, for the part you played in the Iraqi War Michelle: the UK and USA are long standing allies and thank goodness for that alliance, long may it continue and may our brave men and women stand shoulder to shoulder in any conflict they face.

Sylvia. Your wee Scottish friend.

Hi Michelle and welcome to the forum. Well, the easiest way to invite Michael would be to contact Gail, our moderator by writing to boltoninfo@aol.com and she will forward your request to his office. I'm sure that Michael would be truly honored, if he can make the time in his schedule to go. As you may or may not know, Michael supported "Desert Storm" and was part of the 1991 "Voices that care" documentary:

Michael has always been supportive of the troups. Thank you very much for your service and devotion and good luck on getting Michael there, please keep us posted. Thanks also for coming in here Michelle, God bless. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie QC Canada :D

Thank you all for the quick replies. As soon as I find out something I will let you all know. Since the date he is going to be in Ft Myers is a day before the invasion date of Operation Iraqi Freedom what better day to do this on.

Thanks again.

Michelle

Should I also e-mail the Michael Bolton Charities as well in regards to this event? I have also snail mailed the invitation. I hope to hear back soon.

Thank you.
