This great nation has historically enjoyed a long period of peace. However, it is now being challenged with a new war on terrorism. The demand for USO services has steadily increased since September 11^th, particularly in the more remote and hostile locations where our military is deploying. The USO, a non-profit charitable organization, has expanded its already broad spectrum of programs to ensure that virtually every member in our U.S. Armed Forces benefits from its critical services.

And the USO will be there for families left behind. USO Centers – staffed primarily with volunteers – provide a wide range of nurturing programs and opportunities for communication between loved ones. For more information about the USO, see http://www.uso.org.
