A funny thing happened on the way to the front.

A famous rock star recruited top comedians to donate their best for a free comedy CD especially for those in uniform and their families, Stand Up for the Troops.

You can’t laugh this off: Chris Rock dogging on big pieces of chicken for dads, and Adam Sandler’s musical escapades of Sloppy Joes during Lunch Lady Land.

It’s here for you, for free, as thanks for your service. Led by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter John Ondrasik, from the band Five for Fighting, this year’s CD for the troops also includes comedy acts from Ray Romano, Jeff Foxworthy, Dana Carvey, Dennis Miller and more.

You just need your valid military ID to download the tracks for free at cdforthetroops.com or AAFES.com, the Web site for the Army and Air Force Exchange Service.

Ondrasik included his song, Brothers in Arms, from the award-winning documentary, Brothers at War. TriWest Healthcare Alliance, Sony and the AAFES all partnered with Ondrasik to bring this gift to service members, veterans and their families.

In addition to the free downloads, 200,000 CDs will arrive at military bases, Armed Services YMCAs, USO Centers, Fisher Houses and other locations throughout the U.S. and overseas.
