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 provides programs, entertainment and services at more than 200 USO locations worldwide, including Afghanistan, Djibouti, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Germany, Italy, Japan, Iraq, South Korea and the United States.
In 2016, USO centers were visited more than 7 million times by service members and their families. USO centers provide a warm and comforting place where service members can connect to loved ones via Internet or phone, play a video game, catch a movie, have a snack or just put their feet up and relax.
Here in Northwest Florida, we are currently home to three USO centers; Pensacola Regional Airport, Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport, and, our largest and busiest center, onboard NAS Pensacola. In addition to those centers, we support 9 other military installations and regularly attend many different types of community events. We fully rely on the help of our volunteers to provide the comfort and support that our service members and their families deserve. Please consider volunteering with us!
