Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti. In September of 2008 Efren Ramirez visited with wounded warriors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. During the visit, he walked from room to room shaking hands with service members, listening to their stories, signing autographs and expressing his heartfelt thanks for their service.
“Visiting with patients at Walter Reed really inspired me to do this USO tour,” says Ramirez. “I just knew that I had to get out and let our troops know how much I appreciate their sacrifices.”
Ramirez, best known for his portrayal of ‘Pedro’ in the independent comedic film “Napoleon Dynamite,” has spawned a pop-culture fan base around the world. He can also be seen in the adrenaline pumping action thrillers “Crank” and its sequel “Crank High Voltage” with Jason Statham. Coming up he can be seen in “The Pool Boys” due in theaters later this year.
