With your help, the USO goes wherever our service members go, providing vital support and boosting their morale. In response to this ongoing crisis, we’ve deployed two Mobile USOs in the region to support our heroes with warm meals, water and essential supplies.

The USO is keeping a close eye on this situation and is prepared to scale up our response as needed. We’ll be there to support service members as long as they’re responding to this emergency and wherever duty calls them in 2025. These heroes deserve our support and gratitude, and we’ll always do what we can to boost their physical and mental well-being.

But as a nonprofit organization, we rely on generous supporters like YOU to power our vital work. Will you please rush $29 — or anything at all — to support service members around the world at this critical moment?*

Thank you for your urgent support.

—The USO
