On this beautiful Christmas I wanted to take a moment out of the holiday to write about an organization that is very worthy of your support. The USO is an organization that links the American people with the Soldiers that serve these very people. In every major airport you will find one; and over the last few years you will find it bustling with activity.

A couple of days ago as I was waiting for my connection in Dallas and walked into a packed USO. I made my way to one of the counters and was offered a sandwich, drink, chips and a dessert at no cost. While I sat there and ate, a very nice middle aged lady came and made conversation with me. You could feel her genuine concern and support for our mission in her voice; yet she wasn’t over dramatic or cheesy. All over the room, this process was repeating itself with other volunteers doing the same thing.

This holiday season if you are looking for a last minute tax deduction, or want to spend some meaningful time as a volunteer;?allow me to?recommend the USO.
