| Stenhouse and Logano meet with the troops in Kuwait |
After
meeting and extending their thanks to the men and women in uniform in the
Middle East and Germany, they wrapped up their USO tour by visiting recovering
warriors at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, also located in Germany.
In
all, Logano and Stenhouse visited six installations and touched the lives of
hundreds of service men and women. The tour was part of an ongoing partnership
with the USO that continues to strengthen the connection between the military
and motorsports. During this year’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion’s Week in
Las Vegas, NASCAR teamed up with the USO to host healing heroes and their
families at NASCAR Victory Lap and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards.
This
was the second USO tour for Logano, who last year, along with 2012 NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski, visited hundreds of troops and
military families stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This was the first USO
tour experience for Stenhouse.
“We had the chance
to meet some amazing men and women on our USO tour,” said Logano. “I have so
much respect for our troops; they do their jobs day in and day out without
complaint and are always giving it their all. We are lucky to have these men
and women serving and protecting our country, and I can’t thank them enough for
all that they do.”
“My first USO tour was an amazing
experience. It was an honor to meet our troops and see them in action,”
Stenhouse said. “The service and sacrifice of these men and women and their
families are inspiring, and I have nothing but admiration and gratitude for
what they do for our country.”

Awesome! I suppose the Middle East wouldn't include Afghanistan...think it is referred to as SW Asia. That's where my son is spending his Christmas.
