Singer Stevie Nicks is doing her part to support US troops by donating hundreds
of iPods to soldiers wounded in Iraq.
The former Fleetwood Mac star regularly visits soldiers at the National Naval
Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.
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 has provided iPods loaded with her music, along with fellow artists
Aerosmith and Elvis Presley.
She has also sent baby clothes to war widows, joined bedside vigils and with
the United Service Organization, hopes to provide every returning soldier
with a music player.
She adds, "Any one of them could be my own child. You can't help falling in
love with every one of them."
