And with Thanksgiving coming just a few days later, it�s a perfect opportunity for us to say thanks to the troops and the USO for everything they do.�

The USO is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide morale, welfare and recreation services to this country�s men and women in uniform. The original intent of Congress � and enduring style of USO delivery � is to represent the American people by extending a touch of home to the military.
