Thank you so much for your help and coordination for this morning. It means a lot to our guys to know that the USO is out there and always has our back.Richard T. Walmsley, Maj

I would be honored to be considered for duty at the airport USO. Please consider me

if possible for time there. Remember the USO started here in Portland; its about time

we showed who we are.Richard Granby

I have had wonderful experiences with the USOs… its a wonderful sense of relief for someone who travels as much as I do to be able to go somewhere where you can rest for a bit. The people I have met in the different USOs I've visited remind me of a piece of home - even though we often come from very different places. It's a wonderful thing you are doing, and I wish you the best of everything. Corrisa Heyes

I received the ODVA newspaper and read the article. I said to myself, "it's about time PDX gets a USO center." Patty Reyes
