CapturePENSACOLA, FL� Last week, Pen Air Federal Credit Union donated 125 turkeys to the United Service Organization (USO) of Northwest Florida aboard Naval Air Station Pensacola for their annual Thanksgiving Feast to feed troops unable to make it home for the holiday. The turkey donations were picked up by the USO at the Corry Commissary and Pen Air FCU representatives helped deliver the turkeys to the USOs other locations for preparation and cooking prior to the Thanksgiving festivities. The USO started this Thanksgiving tradition six years ago. Pen Air FCU has supported the USO and the troops each year. The Thanksgiving meal is expected to feed more than 2,000 troops and their families. "Without Pen Air Federal Credit Unions support, there is no way we could pull off the Thanksgiving meal," said USO Director, Heidi Blair, "I am always overwhelmed and thankful for their gracious contributions." The USO is a non-profit organization with a mission to support active duty military serving our country.� The Pensacola USO is located at the Pensacola International Airport with a second location aboard NAS Pensacola. The USO operates and receives financial support from private contributions. These donations help the USO provide support for programs that assist deployed personnel and their dependents. "The men and women who serve our country deserve our gratitude and Pen Air Federal Credit Union is proud to help in any way we can to ensure our troops have a warm holiday meal while away from their families," said Pen Air FCU President/CEO, Stewart Ramsey.
