Dear USO Supporter,

Thanksgiving is less than 24 hours away.

While many of us are anticipating a day of football, parades and home-cooked meals, thousands of service members will spend the day deployed — far from home and cherished traditions.

They'll be lucky if they can reach their families for a brief phone call.

We've heard so many times from our service members that this is the hardest time of year. With Thanksgiving just hours away, will you step up now and show your support for our troops?

Thanks to our friends at the NFL, your gift will be matched up to $50,000 to help provide warm meals and other support for our service members this holiday season.

The USO is on a mission to ensure no service member feels forgotten this holiday season no matter where they serve — but we can't do that without your help within the next 24 hours! When you help provide a Thanksgiving meal, you're sending a piece of home just when our heroes need it most.

Without your help, Thanksgiving will come and go — and many service members will be left wondering if anyone remembered them. Let’s make sure they know folks back home are thinking of them. Please give now while your gift DOUBLES.

On behalf of our heroes,

Sydney Jones, USO
