Although I enjoyed the article, our local USO in Jacksonville, North Carolina was not mentioned. We have the longest continuing run USO in the country. Judy Pickford is the state director, having started as the local director. She has helped launch USO extensions at the airports in both Raleigh and Charlotte. With many bases in our state, the largest being Camp Lejeune Marine Corps base next to Jacksonville, and Fort Bragg Army base in Fayetteville, our service men go through the airports often and it is nice to have this little bit of home for them. As I read this article, I was sure our USO would be mentioned but was very disappointed when it wasn't.
