PENSACOLA, Fla.– The USO of Northwest Florida served more than 1,000 troops at the 8th Annual Thanksgiving Feast & Festivities event for those who were not able to make it home, with Pen Air Federal Credit Union providing turkeys to the USO. This year 150 turkeys were donated.
“It’s truly the least that we can do to help these men and women know that we are thankful for each of them, and their service,” said Stu Ramsey, president and CEO of Pen Air. “Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on those things that we are most grateful for. We are grateful to be a part of this community that always ensures our military are honored and cared for.”
In addition to Pen Air’s donation, Pensacola Coca-Cola Bottling Company, Marie Callendar’s, and Frito-Lay also provided generous donations to make the Thanksgiving meal complete.
Pen Air said it is a proud supporter of the USO of Northwest Florida through many events and programs throughout the year.
