USO Supporter,

Next week, families around the country will gather to celebrate the holidays — sharing warm meals, cozy fires and joyful traditions. However you celebrate, we wish you a season filled with love and comfort.

But for so many of our service members deployed around the world, next week will be like any other. The same lonely barracks, thousands of miles away from loved ones. The same mess hall food and MREs. None of the special traditions we all look forward to each year.

At the USO, we believe it's on all of us to make the holidays a little brighter for our military heroes. That's why we're working to deliver critical programs, including at least 3,000 Christmas and holiday meals to service members around the world.

Thanks to our generous partners at The Coca-Cola^® Company, gifts donated will be MATCHED, dollar for dollar, up to a total of $50,000 — but only for a limited time. We can't reach our goal without your help, so please, rush $37.50, or whatever you can.

Our service members make sacrifices every day to protect our freedoms. Spending the holidays away from family is just one of them. We can't bring them all home, but we can deliver a warm and festive Christmas meal that reminds them they're not forgotten.

So we're asking: Will you rush a tax-deductible gift of $37.50 or more now to have the value of your gift DOUBLED and let our heroes know they’re in your thoughts this Christmas?

Thank you for supporting our brave service members at such a meaningful time of year.
