We are so indebted to the men and women serving in our Armed Forces for our safety and freedom!

Below are six of many web sites devoted to supporting our troops. Unfortunately there are a number of web sites that are frauds so please check them out carefully before donating. I believe those listed below are safe.

Thank you Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen and Coast Guardsmen!!

   The USO (United Service Organizations)
The USO has been a steadfast supporter of military personnel around the world. While times have changed, the USO mission has remained the same: to boost the morale of service members and serve as the link between them and the American people. Today the USO delivers its programs and services to 1.4 million active duty service members and 1.2 million National Guard and Reserves as well as their families.

Since before the United States entered World War II, the USO has been the bridge between the American public and the U.S. military. In times of peace and war, the USO has consistently delivered its special brand of comfort, morale, and recreation services to the military. The USO, a congressionally chartered, private, nonprofit organization, relies on the generosity of individuals and corporations to support USO activities.

Today, the USO delivers its programs and services at more than 135 locations around the world with a paid staff and a volunteer corps numbering 44,000. In recent years, the USO opened centers in Kuwait, Qatar and Afghanistan to support service members participating in Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom, as well as centers in Vincenza, Italy, and at the Dallas/Fort Worth, Raleigh/Durham, Denver and Charlotte-Douglas Airports.

Military personnel and family members visited USO centers more than 5.6 million times last year. Services include free Internet and e-mail access, libraries and reading rooms, housing assistance, family crisis counseling, support groups, game rooms and nursery facilities.
