Summary
on What’s Cookin’ with The McLemore Boys , we pull up a chair with Michael Linnington , the 24th CEO and President of the USO — a leader whose life has been defined by service, humility, and purpose. Before stepping into the role on October 20, 2025, Mike served our country as a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General with 35 years of military leadership, including serving as Director of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency and Commandant of Cadets at West Point. He also previously led the Wounded Warrior Project from 2016–2024, bringing a deep understanding of what military families carry every day. In this episode, The McLemore Boys sit down with Mike to talk about the man behind the uniform — the moments that shaped him, lessons from leadership, and why the mission of the USO matters now more than ever as America approaches its 250th birthday.
