Holiday Celebrations
Being away from family and traditions during major holidays can be especially difficult for service members, which is why the USO brings the celebrations to them. Through special events, we foster connection and belonging, helping to lift morale and strengthen well-being. As the holiday season begins, USO centers worldwide ensure that every service member and military family feels valued, supported, and appreciated for their service.
