REP NUGENT: “The USO Tampa project speaks
volumes about the level of
commitment in Florida to our troops and their
families.”
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – Following the announcement of final
approval for a USO Center at Tampa International Airport, Rep. Rich Nugent
(FL-05) released the following statement:
“Congratulations are in order for the team behind the USO
Center project at Tampa International Airport. As the staff at USO Headquarters
put it, ‘Many have applied, but this is the first Chartered USO Center approved
in the nation in over 20 years.’
“The
USO Tampa Bay Board of Directors deserves a lot of credit for putting together a
workable plan for the new center and seeing it through. Hundreds of thousands
of military personnel and their families will be served by this new center and
as a father of three soldiers, I know how much means to our
troops.
“Make
no mistake about it, this is an all-volunteer, all-donation based project and
their success so far speaks volumes about the level of commitment in Florida to
our troops and their families.
“It
means a lot to our troops that this group of volunteers set out to try and get a
new center approved, but to have the care and dedication needed to actually pull
it off, that means the world.”
