JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A well-known resource for traveling military members and their families has closed at Jacksonville International Airport — abruptly.

News4JAX reached out to the United Service Organization, and a spokesperson confirms that they’ve closed their welcome center at JAX.

It’s upsetting for some service members and veterans who enjoyed using this facility.

There are centers at most major airports across the US, and the USO office at JAX has been a staple. It’s been in the center of the airport for decades. It’s been a place for military members, veterans and their families to relax, get a snack and use the internet. But now that it’s closed, the lights are off, and there is a sign that saying, “This USO facility is permanently closed. We apologize for the inconvenience.”

When Edith Lemay and Sebastien Pelletier learned that three of their four children had a rare, untreatable genetic condition that causes vision loss, they experienced the stages of grief — denial, anger and sadness. When they reached acceptance, they decided to enjoy life. For them, this involves traveling the world and giving their children the chance to create “visual memories.”

“Whenever problems (arise) my way to cope is just to get into action,” Lemay, 44, of Montreal, Canada, told TODAY Parents via What’s App. “The thing is with the diagnosis, there’s nothing you can do. The doctor tells you, ‘Well, your kids are going to be blind, but we can’t do anything about it.”

The flights were cheaper than what I could find via Google Flights.

When it comes to camping, why should I opt for a propane campfire over a traditional wood-burning fire? Propane fire pits are easy to light and create high flames. They are also inexpensive to purchase and set up and don’t leave embers or need to be tended to. Unlike wood, they also do not require any firewood, which means you can spend more time relaxing at your campsite instead of collecting wood.

Easy to start

Propane fire pits make camping a breeze. Most models have a ten-foot hose, which makes them easy to transport and store. They also give off a warm glow and are easy to start for beginners. The flame height depends on how much propane is burned. A propane fire pit is great for camping because it can accommodate three to four people. Whether you are camping in the woods or on the beach, there are propane …
