USO Supporter, with just a few hours left to reach our 50,000-signature goal on this official thank-you card for service members, we took a look at our records and were surprised to find your signature was missing.

Here's what we found when we pulled your official record:

We know you're someone who cares deeply about supporting the people who serve in the military and their families, so we didn't want you to miss this important opportunity to show your gratitude: Sign now before it's too late!

Unfortunately, the daily sacrifices our service members make — the long hours, dangerous deployments and difficult assignments — rarely make the headlines. The challenges of serving far away from loved ones, eating the same old military ready-to-eat meals day after day, or not being able to find dependable Wi-Fi to call home are too often ignored.

But we know you understand that even the strongest among us need support. Your words of encouragement will mean so much today, especially to deployed service members who won't be with their families this Labor Day weekend. That's why we're asking for your help one last time:

Can we count on you to add your name before midnight to send a powerful message of support and gratitude to U.S. service members stationed all over the world? It will only take a moment, but it will mean so much to our heroes.

Thank you for all you do to support our heroes — it means the world to us and them.

—The USO
