Charlie Sheen didn’t blow all his money on hookers, drugs and booze, after all!
The former “Two and a Half Men” star donated $250,000 to the USO with plans round off that donation to an even $1 million, officials with the military support organization said today.
“[Sheen’s] support is greatly appreciated, especially from our wounded warriors and their families,” said retired Air Force Brig. Gen. John I. Pray, Jr., executive vice president of the USO.
Sheen, booted last year from his lucrative gig on “Two,” is now the star of FX’s “Anger Management.”
“I would reiterate how much we appreciate his generosity,” said retired Navy Rear Admiral Frank Thorp, a spokesman for the USO.
“The way we do what we do, the way we lift the spirits of the families and troops is through generous donations from the American public.
“It is heartwarming to me to see how the American people support the troops whether it’s 25 cents or $25 or $250,000. So when you’re talking about Charlie Sheen, we appreciate a donation of this magnitude.”
It’s believed to be the biggest donation in the history of the USO, according to TMZ.
“It’s an honor for me to be able to give back to these men and women of the military who have done so much for all of us,” Sheen said.
“They put their lives on the line for us every day, and I’m just happy that my work on ‘Anger Management’ can bring a little bit of relief to the troops and their families,” he added.
