Presentation to the USO: President Ron Nelson asks our USO MO representative John Buehrle to the front for the presentation of our donation.

Bob Isermann presents Mr. Buehrle with a donation check. This is the amount earned from our Route 66 Car Show. (Bob I asks Mr. Buehrle for flag that he has read about for a donation. Mr. Buehrle will see that we get that.) Mr. Buehrle is thrilled with the donation and explains how the money will be used. Recently 580 recruits came through the US0 (Lambert Field) and lots of food was consumed. Food, utilities, mobile units for events, and other needs will make good use of this donation. This USO is the only USO in the state of Missouri and it serves 4 counties in Illinois. The funds not only help soldiers, but their families as well. Detta Nelson gave a personal account of family members receiving help from the USO.
