One of the highlights of every\u00a0year is being asked to photograph the Annual Awards Dinner for the USO of Metropolitan Washington DC. This year’s event attendees included\u00a027 Medal of Honor recipients (two from Afghanistan). Service awards were presented to musician Steve Nicks, 5-time NFL MVP Peyton Manning, DC poet and essayist Seema Reza, and Oscar-nominated film maker and best-selling author Sebastian Junger.<\/p>\n

Stevie\u00a0Nicks was acknowledged for having spent the most hours visiting combat-wounded servicemen and women. The award was presented to Nicks by Cpl Vincent Mannion-Brouder who was in a coma for over a year. Nicks has stayed in touch with Mannion-Brouder and his family over the years as he continued his stunning recovery.<\/p>\n

As part of USO Metro\u2019s Celebrity Handshake Tour, Nicks also donated hundreds of iPods she personally programmed with music to the returning vets who she spent time with during their recovery at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Medical Center over several years.<\/p>\n
