"He was here to do a USO visit at Ft. Bliss. In the morning, we toured Lincoln Center and the murals. From there went to see the monument of the Men of Company E.," she said. "He is working on a project centered on that and then we went to lunch with him."

Limón said the Lincoln Conservation Committee organized the tour.

Limón said Valderrama had the carne asada tacos and tried the tortilla soup, guacamole and chile con queso.

"He really enjoyed all the food. He was really pleased with the presentation of the tres leches cake and the flan," she added.
