Helmet, uniform, boots, armor, weapons, ammo, food, canteens, compass, first aid kit … day in and day out, service members wear and carry all that and more — almost 70 pounds on a regular day and nearly twice as much in a combat mission.

It’s never easy for them, but right now, they’re bearing all that as summer temperatures climb above 100 degrees around the world — all to keep us safe at home. At this particularly difficult moment, it’s up to patriotic Americans like you to boost their morale. Please, will you sign the card before our midnight goal deadline to show your gratitude?

As troops endure unimaginable challenges to keep us safe, we are counting on 50,000 military supporters to sign our troop thank-you card by midnight tonight — but our records show we’re still waiting for your signature. I know you wouldn’t want our troops to feel forgotten as they make incredible sacrifices to protect the freedoms we all cherish, so here’s a personalized link just for you: https://action.uso.org/2307_summer_USO-Supporter

It may not seem like much, but I know your well wishes will mean the world to a service member facing danger and uncertainty this summer.

Thank you for standing with our heroes,

Sydney Jones, USO
