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
