SPONSORED CONTENT -- (StatePoint) A simple message of support can go a long way. That’s why to celebrate its 84th birthday, the USO announced its birthday wish is to collect 2 million messages of support this year to honor the more than 2 million people serving in the U.S. military and the families who stand by their side.
“A simple note of support can boost morale and remind service members and military families that they’re not alone, no matter where they serve,” said J.D. Crouch II, CEO and president of the USO.
The messages will be displayed at over 250 USO centers worldwide in high-traffic, visible locations where service members are most likely to see them, ensuring every sentiment makes an impact.
Generating widespread support back home for the people serving in our nation’s military all over the world, and fostering strong connections between service members and country and home, aligns with the USO’s long-time mission. Since 1941, the USO has been the leading nonprofit dedicated to strengthening the well-being of the people serving in America’s military and their families. The USO goes where service members go throughout their time in uniform, providing support from the moment they join the military, through deployments and as they transition back to their communities.

For service members around the globe, feeling supported and appreciated by Americans can make a big difference.
