POSTED: 6:02 pm EST December 24, 2004

CAMP TAQADDUM, Iraq -- It was The Late Show with David Letterman in a city far from home. Letterman and his crew put on a Christmas Eve show for Marines in Iraq.

The Marine Corps Web site reported that he asked the crowd at Camp Taqaddum if there was anyone there from out of town.

He also said, "If I wanted to face insurgents, I would've spent Christmas with my relatives."

Letterman was joined by his musical director Paul Shaffer and stage manager Biff Henderson. The show included comedian Tom Dreesen and the band Off the Wall.

Some band members scrambled for cover when a controlled detonation went off. Letterman has also entertained troops in Afghanistan and Baghdad."
