Drivers on Middle Eastern USO tour
Now that the racing season is over, several racers are making a tour of camps in the Middle East. The first stop was Camp Arifjan, which provides permanent support facilities for American forces in Kuwait. The commanding officer at Camp Arifjan, Lt. Col. Clint Pendergast, with (left to right), Fred Simmonds, Jim Yates, Warren Johnson, Jason Line and Cory McClenathan. Each member of the NHRA drivers' group was awarded a Certificate of Appreciation and a commemorative commander's coin from the Lt. Col. on behalf of Area Support Group - Kuwait.
The group then headed to the Kuwait Naval Base for a briefing by Lt. Col. Bob Lesher, and 
that was followed a naval boat ride off the southeast coast of Kuwait.
This would be a good time for the Agent to remind you of the great work the USO does to bring a little bit of home to our armed forces around the world. If you’re grateful, let them know with a donation to keep up the good work at www.uso.org. (photos courtesy GM Racing) [11/25/2008]
