National Volunteer Week: Frank and Helen Marsh

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r49HPZX-dDk&w=640&h=360]

Frank and Helen Marsh represent the lifeblood of the USO: our volunteers. Frank served as a parachute rigger in the Marines from 1955 to 1957, and was promoted to the rank of sergeant before he got out. He and his wife Helen found their USO volunteer opportunity through the Knights of Columbus, where Frank has been a member for almost 50 years.

We caught up with the Marshes at the USO Marine Corps Trials at Camp Pendleton, Calif., where they handed out energy bars, snacks and refreshments to wounded warriors competing in the archery event.

You can help our heroes with the little things that will mean so much this year like a phone call home, comfort foods or a place to relax.
