USO Lounge Arriving Soon at McCarran Airport
Harry Reid's Senate Member Office (D-NV) posted a Video on September 2, 2010 | 7:15 pm - Original Item - Comments (View) |
Nevada Senator Harry Reid toured the construction site of the new USO Lounge at McCarran International Airport and joined in celebrating the "ground breaking," where military members knocked down a wall to make way for the construction of the lounge. Reid was joined by: Nevada Congresswoman Dina Titus; Congresswoman Shelly Berkley; Chairman of the USO Celebrity Circle, Wayne Newton; and, Air Force Colonel Kevin Fox of Nellis Air Force Base. Reid has worked with the USO for more than five years to bring the transit lounge to Las Vegas. "In 2009, 250000 servicemen and women traveled through McCarran Airport from one duty station to another. Prior to the construction of this USO Center, many military members and their families were without a suitable place to rest in between flights," said Reid. "Having this lounge at McCarran will ensure our nation's most honored members no longer have to sleep on terminal benches and chairs. Building this center is the least we can do to repay them for all that they do to protect our freedom." |

On Tuesday, September 7th, Senator Reid will host his third annual National Clean Energy Summit at the Cox Pavilion on UNLV's campus. These summits bring together industry leaders, policy experts, investors, and public officials to discuss our efforts to create a clean energy economy. This year we will focus on the investments that are needed to create clean energy jobs in Nevada and across the nation. We will be kicking off the Summit with some amazing success stories from right here in Nevada. This video highlights some of the renewable energy projects that have been developed in the state over the last year thanks to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. We have come a long way in the past few years since Senator Reid started these Summits, but there is still work to do if we want to create a robust clean energy economy and become energy independent. If you would like to attend the Summit in Las Vegas and be a part of this important conversation, please register at www.cleanenergysummit.org |
