Thanks To Our Soldiers

The Christmas season is all about getting together with the ones you love. Unfortunately there are many Americans in our armed forces who will not be home this holiday season. I wanted to show thanks to all the men and women who serve our country by donating to the USO. On the USO website they have an online store that you can buy things like a phone call home, or a comfort food package. I decided to purchase a pocket sized photo memory book that soldiers can keep in their uniforms. Soldiers can keep their most important and cherished photos with them at all times.
Here is a little more information about the USO. The following is directly from the USO website:

Throughout our country’s history, Americans have felt profound appreciation and gratitude for the dedication and sacrifice of our troops and their families. The USO provides a tangible way for all of us to say thank you, as it has for 70 years.

Thanks to your generosity, the USO fulfills its mission of lifting the spirits of America’s troops and their families. Through the USO, you touch their lives through an extensive range of programs at more than 160 locations in 27 states and 14 countries, and at hundreds of entertainment events each year. Thousands of USO volunteers do everything possible to provide a home away from home for our troops and to keep them connected to the families they left behind.

The USO makes sure your help goes to those who need it the most: troops serving in combat, their families, our wounded warriors and their families, and families of the fallen.

As a nonprofit, non-political organization, the USO is now, and always will be, about our troops. Wherever and whenever they go, the USO will be there, until every one comes home.
