These TV news stories tell of how hundreds of Marines being deployed to Afghanistan were forced to sleep on the Las Vegas airport floor and starve until local veterans found out and stepped in to help.
If these videos disturb you, please call Nevada Senator Harry Reid at: 202-224-3542, and his son Clark County Commission Chairman Rory Reid at: 702-455-3500, and leave a message about how you feel. Commissioner Reid is in charge of McCarran airport where this disgrace is taking place.
According to a story in
Airport Business Magazine, Senator Reid promised to open a USO at McCarran back in 2008, but dropped the ball. Now when thousands of soldiers are transiting through McCarran, the need is greater than ever as you will see in these
TV news stories.
McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas is the only airport in a major American city that does not have a USO for transiting military personnel. These TV news stories tell of how hundreds of Marines being deployed to Afghanistan were forced to sleep on the airport floor and starve until local veterans found out ,and stepped in to help. They secured a vacant meeting room and supplied the soldiers with food, and a dignified place to relax while waiting on stand-by for their next flight. In the meantime, Nevada leaders ignore the serious problem that has been ongoing for over five years.
