INDIAN HILL - The stories and the faces are indelibly etched in the lives of Karen Cassidy and Ann Kereiakes.

Soldiers returning from one battleground only to face another - now, as wounded troops and veterans facing new challenges.

Helping these heroes and their families through the tough times is the USO (United Service Organizations). It has become a cause and commitment Karen and Ann say is "contagious" and one they agree is very important to them.

Montgomery Inn to visit Walter Reed Army Medical Center

Dean Gregory, his family and the Montgomery Inn are traveling to Washington, D.C., with a whole host of BBQ sauce, ribs and chicken to serve Montgomery Inn BBQ, kicking off the celebration of the Army’s birthday, Thursday, June 12.

The BBQ event is being held at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and will serve 500 guests, including recovering service personnel, medical staff and high-ranking military officials.

The 2008 Montgomery Inn BBQ event marks the second year in a row Montgomery Inn is hosting and supplying world-famous Montgomery Inn BBQ sauce, ribs, pulled chicken, coleslaw and Saratoga chips.

The BBQ is held in conjunction with the USO of Metropolitan Washington and was developed as a result of Dean Gregory’s relationships from the USO Riverfest Gala held annually at the Montgomery Inn Boathouse.
