Steve Wilkos

Steve Wilkos of The Steve Wilkos Show attended the AUSA (Association of United States Army) Convention in Washington DC last week. Wilkos is the spokesperson for the military charity USA Cares. www.usacares.com . Wilkos, a former Marine and Chicago Police Officer, will serve as a national spokesperson for the organization and will be traveling the country to help get the word out for USA Cares. Wilkos, the married father of two young children, has a special place in his heart for those in the service, veterans and for the families left behind by those serving overseas. “As a former Marine, I couldn’t be more proud to support an organization like USA Cares,” says Wilkos. “USA Cares provides military families and veterans with critical resources and support and I cannot think of a more deserving group of people. We are kicking off our second season with USA Cares and you can get involved by simply logging on to our show's website www.SteveWilkos.com or www.usacares.org. " Bill Nelson, Executive Director of USA Cares said “Steve Wilkos takes on difficult challenges and issues in a very direct and impactful way. And it’s like my Marine Corps friends say, ‘once a Marine … always a Marine’. You have to respect the fact that some challenges just cannot be ignored and USA Cares is appreciative of Steve’s and NBC’s commitment to assisting us help Military Families and Veterans from all branches of service when they most need it.” USA Cares was created to help bear the burdens of service by providing military families with financial and advocacy support in their time of need. USA Cares assists wounded warriors and their families, helps to prevent home foreclosures and evictions and supports veterans and their families during times of financial hardship.
