Kristen is the Center Manager of the Bob Hope USO at Ontario International Airport. He was a 1st Lieutenant and platoon leader in Vietnam who led a seven-vehicle armored column along a highway to meet and escort a truck convoy when the column came under intense crossfire. There were 58,479 American troops killed in the Vietnam War, and today there are still 1,629 men and women in uniform who are unaccounted for. "My dad knows how important the USO was to him in Vietnam, and how important the Bob Hope USO is to our troops of today," Kristen said.
