 Lifting the spirits of America's troops and their families has been the USO's mission since its founding. The newest member of the USO in Sausagebo joined the team to help them do just that. I get to go on all the different ships, interact with all the different organizations around the base. So I kind of get in touch with a lot of different people and I really enjoy that. It's been fantastic, you know, she attacks the job with a lot of new ideas and creativity. So it's really boosted our presence here in Sausagebo having her on board. By doing everything from keeping the facility clean to organizing base-wide events, Minakami is becoming an integral part of the USO's goal to raise the morale of service members and their families.
