USO Supporter,
The USO has always been committed to being there for our service members — and it didn't take long for that commitment to be put to the test.
On Dec. 7, 1941 — just 10 months after the USO was founded — hundreds of Japanese fighters, bombers and torpedo planes launched a brutal surprise attack on unsuspecting Americans at Pearl Harbor that left more than 2,000 dead and 1,282 wounded.
In response to the devastation, the newly established USO quickly stepped up to meet the overwhelming needs of military families and civilians alike.
USO workers in Honolulu opened their doors for more than 1,000 displaced women and children, providing shelter, comfort and a sense of stability in the face of chaos. They organized efforts to reunite families, arranged housing and lifted spirits through music and moments of community.
Over the coming months, the USO's operations expanded rapidly to support the large influx of service members deployed to Hawaii and around the world. Today, we operate over 250 USO Centers worldwide that continue to keep military families connected and provide essential supplies and entertainment to those who serve.
We have never wavered in our commitment to support our military heroes — and it's people like you who have made it possible for us to always remain steadfast in our mission.
We hope our service members never face a tragedy like Pearl Harbor again. But no matter what challenges arise, thanks to supporters like you, the USO will always be there to stand by their side.
Thank you for helping us always be there for those who serve.
—The USO
P.S. As a nonprofit organization, we rely on military supporters like you to help power our mission. Will you please make a tax-deductible gift of $29 or more now so we can continue our important work to support service members?

Thank you to everyone who donated to support our heroes and their families on Giving Tuesday! We are truly so grateful for your generosity.
Thanks to thousands of people like you, who support our service members, we’re able to provide warm meals, care packages, Wi-Fi for video calls to family and other resources for the entire military community this holiday season and beyond.
As a nonprofit, our work to support the well-being of the people serving in America’s military and their families simply wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of caring friends like you. We truly appreciate you honoring our service members, who have sacrificed so much.
—The USO
P.S. If you didn’t get a chance to donate yet, you still can! This donation link is still live, and we’re grateful for any amount you’re able to give.
2025 is only a few weeks away, and we are already gearing up for a year full of special elections and must-win races. To ensure state Dems have what they need to fight against the GOP and win in 2025 and beyond, we are recruiting dedicated grassroots supporters to join our membership team – and we want you to come on board. Together, we can continue fighting to kick right-wing extremists out of office and working to elect state Democrats who will advance policies that improve the lives of the people they serve, like you and your neighbors in your community.
Can’t wait to have you on our team in 2025. DLCC Membership Team
USO Supporter: Giving Tuesday is almost here. During this holiday giving season, we can’t forget about all of the service members who are making immense sacrifices every day to serve our country — spending the holidays deployed far from home and their families, assisting in emergency relief and so much more. With only hours remaining to meet our $50,000 goal, this is your last chance to support our military heroes with a matched gift before Giving Tuesday. Please, before this unique match ends, will you rush $29 or more to support our service members deployed all over the world this holiday season and into the new year?
Thank you for making sure our military heroes’ sacrifices aren’t forgotten this holiday season. —The USO seg., 2 de dez. às 17:19

Thanksgiving is over, and we're sad to report that we fell short of our goal to fund 2,500 Thanksgiving meals for deployed service members. We can't turn back the clock, but together, we can make sure those who missed out on a Thanksgiving meal have a warm dinner on Christmas Day.
Please, don't let us fall short for funding Christmas meals for our deployed service members!
The NFL has generously agreed to 2X-match all gifts, so please, will you rush $37.50 or more right now while every dollar is MATCHED* to provide the holiday support our heroes in uniform both need and deserve?**
$37.50 MATCHED CAN HELP FUND ONE WARM HOLIDAY MEAL** |
$75 MATCHED CAN HELP FUND TWO WARM HOLIDAY MEALS** |
$150 MATCHED CAN HELP FUND FOUR WARM HOLIDAY MEALS** |

Christmastime can be especially hard for our heroes serving far away from friends, family and loved ones. Thank you in advance for supporting our service members this holiday season.

Subject: Your support means service members can eat Thanksgiving dinner.
Next week, Americans will celebrate Thanksgiving with family, friends, food and fun. However you celebrate, we sincerely hope you enjoy this time with your family and loved ones.
But for service members deployed far from home, it’ll just be another Thursday. Another day in a lonely barracks, thousands of miles away from their loved ones. Another day of the same old mess hall food. Another day of hoping they’ll be able to find a secure internet connection to call home before their kids go to bed. It’s up to us to brighten this day for them.
The USO is determined to uplift our service members on this important day. That’s why we’ve set a goal to fund 2,500 Thanksgiving meals at military bases and USO Centers around the world.
And we’re so glad to share that the NFL is matching all gifts, but we’re counting on YOU to help us reach this ambitious goal by Thursday at midnight.
$37.50 CAN HELP PROVIDE ONE THANKSGIVING MEAL** |
$75 CAN HELP PROVIDE TWO THANKSGIVING MEALS** |
$150 CAN HELP PROVIDE FOUR THANKSGIVING MEALS** |
GIVE ANOTHER AMOUNT |
Spending Thanksgiving far away from their loved ones is just one of many, many sacrifices our military members make throughout the year in service of our country while asking nothing of us in return. We may not be able to bring them home or fully understand the challenges they go through — but we can make sure they enjoy a warm, festive Thanksgiving meal.

Thank you for supporting our heroes in uniform when it matters most,
