I’ve met many troops after volunteering with the USO. They all benefit from wherever the funds come from. I’ve worked both airports in Houston, then funded the Military Entrance Processing Station center and helped start it up—was Team Leader for four years there. I also sponsor the “Beach Bashes” at my Galveston Island beach home. This summer will mark the 7th year. It is a joy to interact with them and see first-hand the difference USO makes in their lives.
I served as Chairman of the USO Advisory Committee for three years, so I have seen the Houston budget and know how the funds are spent. As a corporate CEO, I know a thing or two about budgets. All monies were spent well and made a tremendous impact.
