    AT-TAQADDUM, Iraq – Comedians Scott Kennedy, Avi Liberman and Eddie Gossling entertained service members, May 18.

    The comedians, from Los Angeles, visited service members in Kuwait and Iraq during their 12-day tour.

    During their acts, the comedians interacted with the service members and handed out free shirts along with small gifts.

    "It was good, these guys were funny," said Lance Cpl. Mychal A. Keys, a 20-year old from Longview, Texas.

    "I liked how they picked on someone in the crowd and just joked about them," explained Keys, who is a motor transport operator with Transportation Support Company, 1st Supply Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group.

    After the show, Marines lined up to receive autographed flyers and take pictures with the trio. The comedians personally thanked the Marines for their service as they interacted.

    "From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your hospitality, God bless you and God bless America," Kennedy said to the group
