Dear USO Supporter,

Many of our selfless service members are deployed abroad right now and won't be home for the upcoming holiday season with their loved ones.

Some find themselves in lonely barracks eating the same old mess hall food. And with some troops stationed thousands of miles from home in remote corners of the world, mail and other supplies can take nearly a month to be delivered.

That's why the USO is working hard to prepare special holiday programs that remind our troops they are never forgotten. But we can't do it without you. Will you make a gift today to help us be ready to lift their spirits this holiday season and into the new year?

Thanks to a generous group of donors, your gift will be matched for a limited time, dollar for dollar, up to a total of $15,000.* Your donation can help provide holiday meals and other morale-boosting support to our heroes in uniform serving far from home this holiday season and year-round.**

Many service members will be homesick during this time of year, so we've set a goal to help fund 4,000 warm meals and other connections to home via email and text message through October 18.

As you can imagine, Thanksgiving and Christmas will be a difficult time to be far away from loved ones and cherished traditions. You can make an impact and provide a touch of home for our heroes deployed abroad with a generous gift today.

Thank you for showing our service members you care.

For the People Who Serve,

The USO
