USO Holidays
The USO’s mission is to strengthen service members by keeping them connected to family, home, and country. At the center of this is HOME. The holidays are an especially critical time to feel a sense of home – and that’s when the USO mission goes into overdrive. Leading up to and during the holiday season, the USO will rally military supporters to give back as a grateful nation. At a time when separation is so pronounced and felt, the USO asks America to give gifts of good that will strengthen and connect our service members and their families.
