Our Mission
The USO strengthens America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation.
For 80 years, the USO has been the nation’s leading organization to serve the men and women in the U.S. military, and their families, throughout their time in uniform. 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.
