After completing his one year mission to help raise funds and support for the firefighters of New York City's Engine Company 55, Joe Cantafio was given the opportunity to go to the frontlines and perform for our brave men and women serving in Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, Djibouti, Bahrain, and Iraq. 

As plans were being made for a return trip to the Middle East, Joe was informed by Armed Forces Entertainment that all tours were being cancelled due to the increase in the insurgent attacks throughout the region.  Not wanting to simply sit back and wait, Joe and Jim VanNatta of Patriot Entertainment started to put together a domestic tour of military bases across the country.

As the We'll Take It From Here World Tour started to take shape, Joe's message of support for the First Responders, and the troops that are carrying on with the fight, was summed up with the image of the Firefighter passing the colors to the Warrior. 

This sketch was conceived by Ohio math teacher Tom Hernan, and drawn by Ohio art teacher Jeff Grier.  Grier's original oil painting is now proudly displayed at the Pentagon in Washington D.C.  Joe was so moved by this image that he displayed it in his first Middle East trip, and in fact, one soldier even had it tattooed on his upper arm.
