USO Supporter,

I was born on a United States Air Force base in the Philippines and watched both my dad and stepmom proudly serve in the USAF as I was growing up.

Today, as a USO Global Ambassador, I'm proud to support all our heroes who serve across every branch of our military — but there will still always be a special place in my heart for the United States Air Force ♥️.

That's why I'm hoping you'll join me ahead of the USAF's 77th birthday on Sept. 18 to give a heartfelt thank-you to all our brave airmen and service members. Will you add your name next to mine on the USO's Air Force birthday card now to help us reach our 77,000-signature goal before midnight tomorrow?

Growing up in a military family made me develop a lifelong appreciation and respect for our service members — and those who support them.

I saw firsthand how powerful it was for my parents when they heard a quick, genuine expression of thanks for their service. It not only gave them the strength to keep striving to be their best, but it also helped me appreciate the value of what our family was doing for our country.

That's why I know what a message of gratitude from military supporters like you can mean to our service members, especially at times when they're risking their lives on dangerous deployments far away from their families.

It is the least we can do to remind those who sacrifice so much to keep us free and safe that we support them — but it truly means so much.

So please: Add your name now to help us gather 77,000 names via email and text message on our United States Air Force birthday card before midnight tomorrow to thank all our courageous heroes who serve!

Thank you for helping us deliver a powerful message to the members of our Air Force and all our Armed Forces.

With gratitude,
Vanessa Lachey
