Help Ariel Winter (and other celebs) honor the troops

This holiday season, the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) and NBC have teamed up with Ariel Winter (you probably know her as the brainiac middle child on ABC’s hilarious comedy Modern Family) to honor thousands of military service men and women with the third annual WWE Tribute to The Troops holiday special, airing at 9 p.m. ET this Saturday, Dec. 18, on NBC.
The one-hour event will feature many celebrities including Sean “Diddy” Combs, Trace Adkins, Sherri Shepard from The View, and Rima Fakih, the reigning Miss USA. It will also chronicle the celebs during their emotional and heartfelt meetings with the troops and their families.
Thousands of the men and women stationed in Fort Hood, Texas, where the special was taped, were in the audience for the event. The performers thanked them for their dedication and bravery overseas, as many of them had served in Iraq or Afghanistan, with musical tributes. Ariel Winter even opened the event by singing the National Anthem.
Though this is only the third year Tribute to the Troops has been televised, it marks the eighth year the WWE has honored the United States Armed Forces with its unique form of entertainment. The special is now considered one of the most patriotic, emotional, and heart-warming tributes of the year.
Be sure to tune in this Saturday at 9 p.m. ET on NBC for all of the action.
