While many of us are overwhelmed, baffled, and even at times
depressed by the current election cycle, the USO reminds us
of a nonpolitical group of brave men and women who are
currently deployed overseas fighting for our freedoms' our
military service men and women.
The evening had our hearts bursting with red,
white and blue patriotic pride. Legends such as Bob
Hope, Marilyn Monroe to Jon Stewart and Jay Leno who
have worked with the USO to bring a taste of home to our
active duty troops who are risking everything to ensure we
have the freedoms we enjoy every day were viewed on the big
screen.
