The Military Community Pays Tribute To Robin Williams


Military Community Pays Tribute To 'True Friend' Robin Williams -- FOX News

LOS ANGELES – Robin Williams participated in United Service Organization (USO) tours for more than a decade, entertaining troops in war zones from Afghanistan to Iraq to Kuwait. He made many trips to 13 different countries and performing stand-up routines for almost 90,000 troops. So the news of his death -- believed to be a suicide -- sent shock waves through the U.S. armed forces.

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said Monday that the entire Department of Defense community "mourns the loss" of the Hollywood figure.

"Robin was a gifted actor and comedian, but he was also a true friend and supporter of our troops," he said in a statement.
