USO Lounge Military Entrance Processing Station

As a 24-year active duty Air Force member, I have traveled the world and the first place I search out is the USO. I know that I will always find a nice couch, good food and warm hearts from those that volunteer their time taking care of America's military. Closer to home, the Wright-Patterson AFB USO as well as the USO of Central and Southern Ohio continues to go above and beyond to give back to those military members who have and still protect our freedoms. Their care, love and passion is priceless and I am so thankful for all the staff and volunteers that always provide us a little taste home. Today, I sit in Afghanistan finishing out my 1-year tour of duty and there has not been a month go by that I haven't received a care package (or 2 ... or 3) from the USO of Central and Southern Ohio. They have never and will never forget about any military member regardless of how close or far we are away from our homes and our loved ones. This is why the USO is my favorite organization and why they will always be one of the first places I search for in my worldly travels.
