USO Supporter,
Teddy was deployed in Kuwait when he received a message he didn't expect. His son Cole was passing through the same base on his way home after his own nine‑month deployment.
The two hadn't seen each other in months. Both were serving overseas. Both were carrying the weight that comes with deployment.
At USO Camp Arifjan, they finally reunited.
They spent a short but meaningful stretch of time together — talking, playing music, sharing a quiet moment away from the pressure of military life. For Teddy and Cole, the USO wasn't just a place to pass through. It was where connection happened when it mattered most.
This Military Appreciation Month, we're looking to collect 150,000 signatures of support that will be shared at USO Centers around the world to remind our troops that Americans are standing with them right now. Will you take a moment to sign our card and let service members like Teddy and Cole know you have their backs?

Only 4 out of 10 service members have access to USO support. The other 6 may not even know about the USO. Let's make sure no one is left behind.
Service members often say that what they miss most while deployed isn't just home. It's the reminder that what they're doing matters and they haven’t been forgotten.
For the People Who Serve,
The USO
