On a typical day in the James S. McDonnell USO airport facility, you might find a young Marine recruit en route to boot camp in California; military families relaxing while waiting on a delayed flight or perhaps a Mother saying 'goodbye' to her daughter who is headed off to points unknown. Many brave young men and women travel through our facility on their way overseas to protect our freedom. The USO is also a meeting point for up to 1,000 new recruits each week on their way to Ft. Leonard Wood for basic training.
