USO San Antonio has once again hosted a memorable event just before our beloved Gold Star kids began their incredible journey at Echo Hill Ranch (Official) Gold Star Kids Camp. San Antonio International Airport and USO Airport teams put together a fantastic celebration to honor these remarkable young heroes, who are all children of the Fallen. The kids enjoyed a variety of snacks, ice cream, fun activities, and entertainment; including a DJ, caricature artist, magician, and a professional balloon twister! Kids also enjoyed a special visit from our furry friends- lovely therapy dogs.

For 4 years now, the USO San Antonio Airport Center has been the welcoming host for the arrivals of this summer camp program. This special event not only brings together children of the Fallen but also helps them develop coping skills and forge new friendships. The arrival day at the USO San Antonio Airport Center is the perfect start to an amazing week of camp, camaraderie, and personal growth!

Black service members have played invaluable roles in the U.S. military since the American Revolutionary War and today, continue to serve honorably and bravely in all branches of the Armed Forces.

Black service members have had to overcome immeasurable odds throughout their hundreds of years of service. Even as they served their country, many faced discrimination and segregation.

The USO has remained steadfast in its commitment to supporting all those who serve in the U.S. military – regardless of race – since 1941.

Here are 19 stories of Black military history and these courageous service members to celebrate Juneteenth.
