At this very moment, service members are working in sweltering tanks on scorching sand dunes and in triple-digit temperatures in battleship boiler rooms. They're sleeping on the ground in tents with no fans or air conditioning. They don't know the next time they'll get to speak to their families, let alone take a relaxing beach vacation.
As they endure unimaginably harsh conditions to keep us safe and free, it is our patriotic duty to make sure our troops know how much folks back home appreciate everything they do for us. That's why we're asking 50,000 dedicated military supporters via email and text message to sign our card for troops by midnight tomorrow — including you: Please, will you sign now to show your gratitude?
The last thing in the world we want is for troops to feel forgotten by the very people they are sacrificing so much to protect, especially as they're facing extreme temperatures, dangerous storms and other challenges this summer. As one of our most committed military supporters, we know you don't want that either.
But 85% of military families surveyed feel the public doesn’t understand their sacrifices. It's our mission to change this sobering statistic, but we can't do it without your help. The best way to help is by signing the card to personally show our troops how much you care — and it only takes a second:
Add your name to our thank-you card now to thank our heroes for all the sacrifices they're making to keep us safe and free.
Thank you,
The USO
