USO Supporter,

Just over a year ago, the violent conflict in Ukraine escalated with Russia's full-scale invasion. In the days that followed, thousands of American troops deployed to Eastern Europe to support our NATO allies and the people of Ukraine. With little notice, time to pack or say goodbye, service members courageously left when duty called.

Today, thousands remain in Eastern Europe as this war continues — with no end in sight.

And thanks to military supporters like you, ‌the USO has stood alongside our service members every step of the way. Together, we delivered over 33,000 care packages to troops in Eastern Europe last year. We opened a brand-new USO Center in 48 hours. We provided cell phones and other ways for troops to connect with their loved ones.

Today, we wanted to give you the opportunity to learn more about what our service members have experienced in Eastern Europe over the last year and how we've worked around the clock to support them.

Thank you for supporting the brave heroes who selflessly serve our country.

Christopher Plamp
Senior Vice President, USO
