Every year celebrities and other people in society participate in USO special events and tours to support our troops around the world. The USO is a private non-profit organization. This year three actors went on tour; Mike Vogel (Cloverfield), Hilarie Burton (One Tree Hill) and Eric Mabius (Ugly Betty).
Just last week Mike returned from touring with the troops in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. There he was presented with an award for his dedication to America’s armed forces by Captain Leary of the U.S. Navy. Mike, Hilarie and Eric were in the region as part of a four-day tour, where they showed their gratitude to troops. On June 10, 2008 the three tourists did a USO-sponsored autograph signing at the Navy Exchange.
Congratulations, Mike! We’re very proud of you for supporting our troops and for receiving your award for your time and dedication to America’s armed forces. You’re a great role model. On another note, Mike has started supporting AnyMarine.com, so check that out.
