Mission Statement
The USO strengthens America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation
Description
The USO is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to lift the spirits of America's troops and their families by providing morale, welfare, and recreation type services to our men and women in uniform. The original intent of Congress - and the enduring style of USO delivery - is to represent the American people by extending a touch of home to the Military. The USO currently operates more than 160 locations in 23 states and 11 countries including UAE, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Germany, Italy, Japan, Guam, and Korea. Service members and their families visit USO centers more than 8 million times each year. The USO is the way the American public supports their troops.
