Friday night I attended the annual USO of Metro Washington Casino Night to raise funds for USO Metro services and show my appreciation for the men and women who make sacrifices for my freedom and safety. Every year it is a truly great event!
Redskin great John Riggins hosted the evening – and was a fine auctioneer! – but the pageant gals stole the show. Miss America, Kirsten Haglund and Miss Virginia 2008, Tara Wheeler were wonderful with all of the guests, of course. And it was good to see my good friend Rhett Butler teaching everyone at the Sheraton National how to play poker… as good as he did in the World Series of Poker tournament when he took 5th!
Andy Baldwin was, as always, a hit with everyone – especially the ladies. I asked him who he was taking in advance… because you can’t just take anyone when you were “The Bachelor,” you know! The smart boy socialized solo 🙂
Prior to the evening, the celebrity guests visited Walter Reed to visit with those servicemen and women who would be unable to attend the event held in their honor.
