Today is the day to celebrate an unsung hero, the United Service Organizations (USO). These men and women have entertained and comforted our soldiers since 1941.

The people in our military deserve our support. Regardless of where you stand on any of the issues, the people fighting for our freedom are doing their job, just you and I do every day. Only they face challenges and risks that many of us may never know.

My father was a World War II vet. He was stationed overseas during the last months of the war. I cannot imagine the atrocities he may have witnessed. I can only be grateful that organizations like the USO supported him and other troops as they struggled through the war.

As luck would have it, my car which had previously belonged to my mother, was reaching its time. Rather than sell it, I donated it—to the USO. I hope in some small way that I too may be able to help the brave men and women serving our country. God bless you all.
