HOUSTON, March 27, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apache Corporation (NYSE, Nasdaq: APA) today announced a corporate partnership with the United Service Organizations (USO), a leading nonprofit organization serving America's military service members and their families throughout their service to the nation. Under the partnership, Apache joins the USO as a Force Behind the Forces® to help strengthen our armed forces by keeping them connected to family, home and country.
