LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 7 (UPI) -- U.S. comedian Dennis Miller has been named a spokesman for USA Cares, a non-profit group that provides assistance to military families in need.

Miller, a former "Saturday Night Live" cast member, has also worked as a TV presenter and radio host.

The Kentucky-based USA Cares has announced he will now serve as the non-profit's national spokesperson.

"I am honored to help our servicemen and women," Miller said in a statement. "They are our warriors and they deserve to be celebrated."

"We are thrilled that Dennis Miller has agreed to speak on behalf of thousands and thousands of military families," added USA Cares Founder Roger Stradley. "His passion for the support of military families is equal to that of the USA Cares team. We look forward to working with him to support our initiatives well into future."

USA Cares said it has received requests from more than 10,000 service members and their families and has responded with millions of dollars in organizational and outside resources.

In partnership with The Homeowners Preservation Foundation, USA Cares said it has also saved hundreds of military homes from foreclosure across the United States.
