Sydney,
You may not see this on the evening news, but it's important: 2024 has been a tough year for our military and their families.
40,000 of our service members are stationed in the Middle East, and approximately 120,000 more are deployed abroad. I can speak from my personal experience serving in the Air Force: Deploying to dangerous parts of the world, far from your home and loved ones, is one of the most difficult parts of military life. That's why these heroes need our urgent support, and why I’m reaching out today.
| MATCH MY GIFT FOR SERVICE MEMBERS NOW |
Whether it's the National Guard rescuing people from flooding during Hurricane Helene or ongoing deployments to the Middle East — our service members risk their lives for our country every day. Now it's up to us to give them the critical support and appreciation they deserve. But as a nonprofit organization — the USO is not part of the government — we rely on the generosity of grateful Americans like YOU to help us accomplish our mission every year.
What we raise in the next five days can impact how much we're able to support our service members in 2025. That's why I'm personally asking: Will you make a tax-deductible gift of $29 or more now?
| DONATE $29 (BECOMES $58!) |
| DONATE $58 (BECOMES $116!) |
| DONATE $116 (BECOMES $232!) |
| HAVE ANOTHER AMOUNT MATCHED |
Thank you for your generosity. With so much uncertainty about the year ahead, it's mission-critical that we hit our $500,000 end-of-year goal, so I'm grateful for anything you can contribute today.
