The mission of AITAF is to honor, educate, inspire, and entertain all active duty and veteran members of the United States Armed Forces and their families by engaging them in the power and social service of the performing arts.
AITAF enlists artists of the highest quality and chooses material with an eye to what might speak to this particular audience without necessarily being war-themed or focused.
This upcoming holiday season, AITAF will perform at U.S. military bases in Europe. To learn more, visit www.aitaf.org.
