A basketball scholarship led Christian Walker to West Point Military Academy.

Operation Iraqi Freedom led him to Iraq where he was serving with a field artillery unit as an American soldier when the Saddam's statue and regime fell in Baghdad.

His faith led him to borrow a chaplain's guitar and lead his fellow soldiers in worship during his tour of duty in Iraq. Now back home in the United States, Christian Walker is on another tour of duty, armed with just his guitar, his songs, and his passion to share his compelling story with others.

Walker's current radio single "I Thank God" (listen to songs here) can be heard on contemporary Christian radio stations throughout the nation and his tour schedule is taking him from Nacogdoches, Texas to Virginia Beach, Virginia and dozens of cities and towns in between. At Fork Union, Walker will lead a worship service during the cadet's chapel time in the morning and then headline a community concert that evening.

Walker says he is especially looking forward to this concert and sharing his faith and music with the cadets at Fork Union Military Academy, having attended a military academy himself for college.

"I served in the Field Artillery as a Captain," says Walker, "and I enjoyed getting paid to blow things up. There aren't many things in life that can top getting paid to blow things up, but one of them is being a musician."
