00:00.569 --> 00:03.640
Today we had a wonderful USO Yokota

00:03.640 --> 00:06.250
Center grand reopening . Everything has

00:06.250 --> 00:08.417
finally come together and we were able

00:08.417 --> 00:10.417
to open our doors to the public and

00:10.417 --> 00:12.472
welcome them into this beautiful new

00:12.472 --> 00:14.472
space . The significance of the USO

00:14.472 --> 00:16.694
center at Yokota Air Base is to support

00:16.694 --> 00:18.917
those who serve our nation . We support

00:18.917 --> 00:20.806
the airmen , their families , all

00:20.806 --> 00:22.694
service members across the Yokota

00:22.694 --> 00:24.528
airbase community . We help them

00:24.528 --> 00:26.639
connect the family home and country ,

00:26.639 --> 00:28.861
and we give them a place of respite , a

00:28.861 --> 00:28.250
place to decompress , and a place to

00:28.250 --> 00:30.306
connect with each other . Within the

00:30.306 --> 00:32.361
community , this renovation wouldn't

00:32.361 --> 00:34.417
have been possible without the NFL .

00:34.417 --> 00:36.250
The National Football League has

00:36.250 --> 00:38.417
donated every penny to this renovation

00:38.417 --> 00:40.639
so that we can further facilitate those

00:40.639 --> 00:42.694
wonderful connections the USO always

00:42.694 --> 00:44.917
has and will continue to do , and we're

00:44.917 --> 00:46.861
extremely grateful for the NFL . I

00:46.861 --> 00:49.083
would like the Yokota airbase community

00:49.083 --> 00:50.917
to know we appreciate them , all

00:50.917 --> 00:53.083
service members , all family members ,

00:53.083 --> 00:53.060
and I want to say a special thank you

00:53.060 --> 00:55.340
to all our fantastic volunteers who

00:55.340 --> 00:57.619
helped make our mission go every single

00:57.619 --> 00:57.930
day .
