On Tuesday, September 4th, the USO of Missouri became the first airport USO to have two USO installations when the ribbon was cut on the new East Terminal Satellite. The East Terminal Satellite was made possible by the founding donation of the Joan and Vern Wendt Family. Pictured above, left to right are: John Hillhouse, USO Board President; Joan Wendt; Major General Tom Kane; and Gerard Slay, Senior Deputy Director, Lambert St. Louis International Airport.
Services offered at the USO East Terminal Satellite include Internet access, TV, snacks and reading material. The East Terminal Satellite is open Monday through Friday, during daytime hours.
