^- [Bryan] Military and civilian leaders around Guam,

00:08.046 --> 00:09.550
^came out for the grand opening

00:09.550 --> 00:12.492
^of the new United Service Organization's Facility

00:12.492 --> 00:14.277
on Andersen Air Force Base.

00:14.277 --> 00:16.594
The new facility expands the USO's reach

00:16.594 --> 00:18.907
to serve military members on Guam.

00:18.907 --> 00:21.797
^- This center here can serve the needs

00:21.797 --> 00:23.830
^of the large number of military forces

00:23.830 --> 00:25.988
that are on the north end of the island,

00:25.988 --> 00:28.470
but we're also herein advance of the Marines.

00:28.470 --> 00:30.305
We will also be able to serve them

00:30.305 --> 00:31.971
as the population on the north end

00:31.971 --> 00:34.046
of the island grows even bigger.

00:34.046 --> 00:35.912
- [Bryan] Leather recliners, wall-mounted TV's,

00:35.912 --> 00:38.272
and gaming systems furnish the large facility,

00:38.272 --> 00:41.397
spanning roughly 3200 square feet as well as computers

00:41.397 --> 00:43.232
and free internet to check emails

00:43.232 --> 00:45.675
and communicate with loved ones back home.

00:45.675 --> 00:47.628
^- It's gonna be a real gift to our Airmen

00:47.628 --> 00:50.938
^and to our other service members who are here,

00:50.938 --> 00:53.136
away from family and friends, who can come here,

00:53.136 --> 00:55.574
find a little respite, get a bite to eat,

00:55.574 --> 00:59.350
watch some TV, just rest, and feel at home as well.

00:59.350 --> 01:01.347
- [Bryan] The new location is closer and more convenient

01:01.347 --> 01:04.232
for the more than 8000 military members and family

01:04.232 --> 01:06.064
on the northern installation.

01:06.064 --> 01:08.054
The USO location in Tumon Bay is closer

01:08.054 --> 01:10.122
to the airport, Navy bases,

01:10.122 --> 01:12.073
and the Army National Guard Center.

01:12.073 --> 01:14.062
As always, the USO is a resource

01:14.062 --> 01:16.986
for any eligible military member and their family.

01:16.986 --> 01:18.612
