“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.”
