USO

The USO is for the people who serve. Strengthening the well-being of the people serving in America’s military and their families.

The USO has kept our military men and women connected to family, home and country throughout their time of service – no matter where, how long, or under what conditions they serve. It was founded in preparation for World War II by national leaders who understood that maintaining high morale in a fighting force is vital to a nation’s military success. Over time, the USO has become the vital bridge

🎬 Behind the scenes with David Boreanaz at U.S. Army Fort Leonard Wood on a USO Tour! "This is amazing to me. I was officially presented with the Bob Hope USO coin, which holds a special place in my heart."

David spent the day connecting with service members—encouraging them during Warrior Tower training, sharing lunch in the DFAC while hearing their powerful stories of why they chose to serve, and visiting the Urban Search and Rescue unit. He also gained insight into the diverse skills soldiers master through the Expert Infantry Badge program.

🎮Why Gaming? 🎧

Research shows that gaming can help service members in everything from improving teamwork to battling mental illness, making this program crucial to the wellness and morale of our nation’s military.

USO Gaming Centers are outfitted with top-of-the-line screens and consoles, designed specifically so that groups of service members can play games – and bond – together.

USO Gaming Tournaments allow service members to build relationships with other gamers, keep in touch with friends and family, or even just remain connected to life beyond the military, all of which helps ease the isolation that many service members face on deployment or at remote duty stations.

In the midst of life on the front lines, your support of USO Gaming helps provide our military with a moment of normalcy and a brief respite from the pressure of their service to this nation.

Did you know the average military spouse moves 8-12 times in a 20-year career? This often means starting over in each new location, meeting new people, finding employment, and building a sense of community.

☕ USO Coffee Connections are gatherings that allow military spouses to connect, share advice, learn about local events, and make new friends over a cup of coffee.

We recently hosted a special Coffee Connections at Space House, the residence of Mrs. Jennifer Saltzman, spouse of the Chief of Space Operations. The event provided military spouses in the Washington, D.C. area the opportunity to meet new people and build community.

Each Coffee Connections location has its own spin on these events, with conversation, crafts, community outings, games and more. Coffee Connections are happening worldwide and supported over 10,000 spouses last year!
