Nearly 20 years ago, a couple of service members recognized and approached me at the airport. They told me they'd watched "That '70s Show" while they were deployed to the Middle East and that it helped keep them relaxed and entertained during really difficult times.
I was so moved that I immediately started looking for more ways to support our troops, which led to my first USO tour in 2007.
Since then, I've taken every chance I can to support our heroes and have been so proud to serve as a USO Global Ambassador, advocating for its important mission whenever I can. Meeting thousands of service members over the years, I've seen firsthand the strength it takes to wear that uniform. Their bravery, their selflessness, their sacrifices are incredibly humbling.
Our troops put their lives on the line daily for all of America. The USO is still trying to reach its critical Giving Tuesday goal and, we simply can't let our troops down! That's why I'm partnering with the USO to help raise critical funds to support our troops — and I'm counting on you to join me while your gift will go FOUR TIMES as far.
| GIVE $29 TO HELP PROVIDE PHONE CALLS HOME |
| GIVE $75 TO HELP PROVIDE HOLIDAY MEALS |
| GIVE $119 TO HELP PROVIDE HOLIDAY CARE PACKAGES |
Time is running out to quadruple your Giving Tuesday gift for the service members who sacrifice so much to keep us safe. Your gift to the USO will help us close our fundraising gap and provide our troops with the support they need and deserve this winter.
Thanks for joining me in standing with our troops this holiday season.
