ARLINGTON, Va. (AFPN) --  The Air Force's birthday celebration at the Pentagon will be rocking as an Atlanta rock band is scheduled to perform Sept. 18 in the courtyard here.

The band, Five Star Iris, will play several original songs for members assigned to the Pentagon as part of the Air Force's 60th birthday celebration.

The group recently finished an Armed Forces Entertainment tour in Southwest Asia, said Alan Schaefer, the band's lead singer.

"It's an honor and a privilege to play in the Pentagon," he said. "We do anything to give back to those giving to us. It's a humbling experience."

Five Star Iris consists of four members: Twins Alan and Rob Schaefer, Alex Winfield and Dan Fishman.
