Adrienne Trout's energetic greetings to troops milling through Baltimore-Washington InternationalAirport on Wednesday morning make her seem more like a cheerleader than a nonprofit director.
Mrs. Trout, 35, heads the United Service Organization of Metropolitan Washington's lounge at BWI's international pier.

Our thanks to these great volunteers, they do a great job for our troops. I wish I could be near one of those airports, I would love to give my time to something like that.

Most major airports have a USO somewhere in the building. They may not get the traffic that BWI is getting but could use the help anyway especially around the holidays.

About 20 men and women in khaki fatigues are watching TV, surfing the Internet or catching up on the last of their R&R at the lounge that morning before heading out to Kuwait and Iraq on later flights. I was there in the lounge about two weeks ago and on a Tuuesday at noon, there had to be a hundred military there in uniform and about forty family members. Upstairs, there were another hundred in line for a flight.
