About us
The USO is for the people who serve. Strengthening the well-being of the people serving in America’s military and their families. Since 1941, the USO has strengthened America's military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation. From the moment they join, through their assignments and deployments, and as they transition back to their communities, the USO is always by their side. We are the Force Behind the Forces. We currently operate more than 250 USO centers at or near military installations, including in combat zones, MEPS centers, several airports, and even un-staffed USO service sites in places too dangerous for anyone but combat troops to occupy. We serve the American Armed Forces - specifically, U.S. Active, Reserve, and Guard service members and their families through a wide arrange of programs and entertainment. The USO is a congressionally chartered, private organization that relies on the generosity of individuals, organizations and corporations to support its activities, and is powered by a family of over 30,000 volunteers to accomplish our mission. The USO is not part of the federal government.

“This is the country that gave me the American dream.” Wilmer Valderrama has launched E.P.U. - 'E Pluribus Unum,' an activewear brand with a purpose. "'E Pluribus Unum' meaning 'Out of Many, One,' reflects American unity. When our troops don the uniform, differences in identity fade away, united by their shared mission to serve our nation." A portion of sales of activewear line will support #theUSO. For Valderrama, serving as a USO Global Ambassador and performing on USO tours all around the world is a way to give back to the country that has given so much to him. “Meeting thousands of soldiers and hearing all of their stories … I really got to appreciate the type of individual that it takes to wear that uniform,” Valderrama says. “I was very humbled by the men and women, their bravery, their selflessness, the sacrifice. And that’s the thing that I’ll always remember.” “The USO has changed everything for me,” Valderrama said. “When I came to the United States with a dream as an immigrant, and I came to really appreciate the American flag and understand that anything can happen when you’re here, that the American dream is real. And I realized very quickly who was responsible for that.” https://lnkd.in/gxpSKfpA

USO reposted this
I'm proud to share the @USO's 2023 Global Impact Report, highlighting our incredible achievements in supporting service members and their families worldwide over the past year. From standing by those deployed in Eastern Europe amid the conflict in Ukraine to responding swiftly to natural disasters like the wildfires in Hawaii and Typhoon Mawar in Guam, the USO's presence has been unwavering. With the opening of over 20 new Centers across six states and six countries, our reach has extended even further, ensuring that our brave men and women in uniform have the support they need wherever their mission takes them. Notably, we launched our first ship-based USO Centers aboard the USS George H.W. Bush and the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, providing vital resources and a sense of community to service members at sea. These milestones, along with the dedication of nearly 20,000 volunteers who contributed over 1.2 million hours of service, showcase the profound and expansive impact of the USO. #TheUSO
