Craig U Suits Haven't we learned anything from Vietnam?

I lived through the Vietnam era and sadly watched 50 thousand of our troops die horrible deaths and for what? Only to turn tail and run for the hills 10 years later. I'm told by many Vietnam vets that we weren't "allowed" to win that war and I have to agree. Unfortunately, the same damn thing is happening agian in the middle east. Just ONE GI that dies in vein is way too much to ask. We've got 5000 dead GI's already and that my friends is utterly unexceptable. Every second of every day, not only… Continue

Mark Phillips My new hero: 7-year-old doesn’t want birthday presents

Most children ask for presents when their birthdays come every year. Avery didn’t ask her friends to bring her presents this year. The little girl instead asked that her friends bring her new books that could be donated to the USO’s United Through Reading program at the DFW Airport. The program collects new books and then allows soldiers who are going overseas on tours of duty to read the books on camera in the “reading room.” The video recordings of the soldier reading and the book are then m… Continue

Karen Clark Very Rewarding Day at the USO Fort Drum

I had a long day at work today - but it was rewarding. A soldier who frequented the USO Fort Drum often before deploying called the Center just to talk. Our slogan says we are a home away from home for our military and today, for this soldier serving in harms way, I was the voice of home. Continue
