Quotes:????
Attributed to Kim Coates:
?This has been an eye-opening experience for me. On our first USO tour we visited deployed servicemen and women in Kuwait and Iraq. This time we were able to meet the families behind the brave men and women who serve our country, it was a humbling experience.?
Attributed to Mark Boone Junior:
?I was hooked after my first USO tour, it was an honor being able to personally thank our troops for their service. Everyday military families are making sacrifices for our nation and I?m just glad that I get to tell them how much we appreciate everything that they do.?
Attributed to Dayton Callie:
?Letting our troops know how much they are appreciated is what these trips are all about. As a Vietnam veteran, I know how much it means to hear that your service means something, and that America recognizes your sacrifices. That?s why going on these USO tours means so much to me, it?s a chance for me to say ?thank you? to my brothers and sisters in the armed forces.?
