Cher Roots for the Troops Following in the footsteps of her late ex-husband, SONNY BONO, singer CHER is heading to Capitol Hill. Her cause celebre: more protective helmets for American soldiers. The pop icon will appear in front of the U.S. House's Armed Services Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces on June 15th to support Operation Helmet, an organization that provides free helmet upgrades to troops serving in the Middle East. Cher recently publicly voiced her concern for troops' safety in an early morning phone call to C-Span's The Washington Journal and is slated to appear on C-Span on June 14th.
