“Thanks for being
there for my son when I couldn’t be.”
There
are countless ways volunteers support the USO, but they all share an abiding
dedication to our troops and their families. Whether it’s helping out at a
special event, cheering troops at homecoming, manning a front desk or providing
a listening ear, our volunteers are the reason troops know they can count on
the USO.

We got a note from a
mom who thanked us for this story her son told her. He was flying home, exhausted after a long
and stressful tour. The airport
volunteer got him some food, pointed him to a recliner, and told him to get
some rest. He drifted into a much needed nap.
He reported that he stirred briefly as he realized she was draping a
warm blanket over him. And a bit later,
she gently touched his shoulder to wake him so he wouldn’t miss his
flight.
It meant a great deal to
that soldier. But it meant the world to his mom who wrote, “Thanks for being
there for my son when I couldn’t be.”
