INSIDE THE USO www.uso.org/kaiserslautern
The USO Warrior Center is located at
Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. Its
mission is to enhance the quality of life
of the wounded warriors and provide a
“Home Away From Home” during their
stay at the medical transient and to provide
a place for the hospital staff to relax
and decompress. The USO Warrior Center
is open 365 days a year.
On October 22, the USO Warrior
Center hosted a luncheon
celebration in honor the Warrior
Center’s 4th Anniversary.
On October 10, the USO Warrior Center hosted a visit by Jeopardy host Alex
Trebek. Upon on his arrival, he was greeted by the Warrior Center staff and
given a tour of the center. During the tour, he stopped and talked to and took
photos with wounded warriors, volunteers, and anyone that was in the center.
He was really impressed with the center and the programs that are put on here.
Mr. Trebek commented that, “It is unfortunate that not more Americans realize
that the USO provides more than entertainment to the military. It is great
the support that the USO also provides to wounded warriors.” One wounded
warrior commented, “I can’t believe that I just met Alex Trebek from Jeopardy.
How awesome is that? Thanks for bringing him over to visit.”
