We were there for service members during Desert Storm. We’re there for them today.

Troops in the Middle East remain in danger. Help us support service members now.  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏    ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏    ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏    ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS

USO Supporter,

Tomorrow marks 33 years since the end of Operation Desert Storm — a major U.S. military victory that went hand in hand with the USO successfully expanding and adapting its mission to support our troops.

On Feb. 28, 1991, U.S. and allied ground forces decisively defeated the fourth largest army in the world and liberated Kuwait.

The tens of thousands of troops called to serve during this time relied on support from the USO — and we went where no other nonprofit did to be there for them. We brought morale-boosting entertainment and opened three new USO Centers in Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia to make sure our troops had everything they needed as they sacrificed so much for our freedoms.

And our work across this region is just as critical in 2024 as it was in 1991. Today, as our troops are being killed and wounded in attacks by Iran-backed militias across the Middle East, the USO continues to work tirelessly to provide them with critical supplies and support in their time of need — all thanks to the generosity of military supporters like you.

But right now, we need to raise $100,000 via email before tomorrow at midnight to help sustain our essential troop support in the Middle East and around the world — and at this crucial moment, we’re falling short of our goal. Will you rush an urgent gift of $29 before midnight tomorrow to help the USO be there for our troops in the Middle East and around the world no matter what?*

—The USO
