QUOTES:
Attributed to J.D. Crouch II, USO
CEO and President:
"Our primary goal at the USO is to keep service members
connected to family, home, and country. This collaboration with
Activision and Call of Duty provides us a unique channel to do just
that with one of the most popular entertainment franchises in the
world. Online games are played by service members to stay connected
to family and friends – no matter where they are in the world – and
we're excited to support that interest with Call of Duty."
Attributed to Dan Goldenberg,
Executive Director of the Call of Duty Endowment:
"We're honored to work with the USO entertainment team through
this extraordinary opportunity to spend time with active-duty
service members serving overseas. It's a further reflection
of our gratitude and respect for their service. The Call of
Duty Endowment shares a common bond with the USO to support the men
and women of our Armed Forces. We look forward to getting to
know as many troops as possible and through this tour provide a
moment of entertainment in their deployed battle rhythm. We can't
wait to get started!"
