Maya DiRado is honored to join USO holiday tour

The American swimmer and 4-time Olympic Maya DiRado humbly expressed her gratitude to the servicemen and women and their families: “This year has been a real whirlwind experience, from the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio to being invited by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to visit troops and their families around the world on this year's USO holiday tour. It's hard to think that anything could really top these last few months but just being here and getting the opportunity to hear about all the important work our servicemen and women do, to listen to their stories and to see their sacrifice up close is truly life-changing. I've learned a great deal and can't thank everyone enough for having me.”
