Capitals forward Matt Hendricks feels lucky to have been part of the USO Holiday Tour.
Hendricks traveled with Washington Nationals pitchers Craig Stammen and Ross Detwiler, as well as other celebrities to visit various military bases throughout Europe and the Middle East. "I do a lot of charity work with the military in D.C. and I've always had a lot of appreciation [for military members]," said Hendricks. "But when you actually get there and you set foot on that soil, you see how they're living, what the conditions are and what they're doing day-by-day, the stresses and the hardships those levels of appreciation somehow go higher."
