Rap superstar Kanye West and MTV VJ Sway Calloway recently gave three young vets who just returned from the Iraq war the surprise of their lives!Kanye and Sway dropped in at the homes of the vets to listen to the soldiers' stories and express gratitude for their service. The pair gave each veteran money to pay off debts or tuition bills. MTV was there to capture the visits on camera. The special airs on MTV, July 28th.
Kanye said, "There are hundreds of veterans out there who are falling through the cracks. They make the ultimate sacrifices for us by laying down their lives, but it seems like a lot of them just get forgotten about. I know my music inspires and helps a lot of people, but you can always do more. I teamed up with MTV and took the opportunity to share the spotlight with these veterans and hear their stories. I went to their homes to listen and get their firsthand experiences. I wanted to hear their stories."
Kanye should absolutely be doing more work like this instead of bitching and moaning through his infamous blog. I think this is awesome what he's doing!
