From the very bottom of my heart, thank you.

Everyone at the USO is incredibly grateful for all the patriotic military supporters who donated to help us provide critical support for our troops during a particularly challenging year.

Thanks to your generosity, we’re able to continue providing essential resources to our military heroes as they serve our country and protect our allies around the world. Your support provides vital assistance like care packages, meals and calls home for service members serving in dangerous and isolated conditions. Because of the support of this community, our heroes will have comfort and connection no matter where they are in the world.

Here are some memorable moments that show how impactful your generosity was in 2022:

After a year with several crises, from the ongoing war in Ukraine to natural disasters here at home, there are so many unknowns for our heroes in uniform and their families in 2023. But thanks to your support, they can always count on the USO to have their backs, no matter what.

Thank you,

The Hon. J.D. Crouch II
CEO & President, USO
