USO

About the USO
Since before the United States entered World War II, the USO has been the bridge between the American public and our troops by providing a touch of home through centers at airports and military bases, top quality entertainment and innovative programs and services. The USO, a private, nonprofit organization, relies on the generosity of individuals and corporations to support its activities.

The USO operates more than 160 locations in 13 countries (including the U.S.), and 26 states. Troops and family members visited USO centers more than 7.7 million times last year. Services include free Internet and e-mail access, libraries and reading rooms, housing assistance, support groups, game rooms and nursery facilities.

As the local chartered USO center, the USO of Metropolitan Washington is dedicated to serving those who serve, and their families in Washington D.C., Maryland and Northern Virginia.  Every day, staff and dedicated volunteers help USO-Metro achieve its mission to provide first-class programs and services to the more than 500,000 active duty military in the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan area.
