During the event, a PODS® container safely and securely stored donated items from hundreds of attendees. The services PODS Las Vegas provided helped save Adopt a Serviceman thousands in moving and storage logistics.

“PODS Las Vegas was proud to be a part of this event to assist our servicemen and women in their effort to defend our freedom and our country,” said Hector Reyes, general manager of PODS Las Vegas. “We were honored to provide our moving and storage services so that when our troops are overseas they will know that they are not forgotten.”

The public also had a chance to meet service members of the military who are stationed at Nellis Air Force Base and “adopt” them by giving their support and encouragement throughout their military journeys.  

PODS Las Vegas partnered with Las Vegas Beasley Broadcast radio stations for the Adopt a Serviceman 2013 event.
