USO Supporter,

In my 25 years serving in the U.S. Air Force, some of my toughest days were holidays — especially when I was deployed far from home and my family. No matter how many times you do it, deployment never gets easier.

Even now, my heart aches remembering those missed moments.

That's why I can tell you firsthand: An encouraging note of gratitude over the holidays can make all the difference to a service member thousands of miles from home.

Will you be the one to boost morale for those protecting our nation? Please add your name to our Thanksgiving card to thank our heroes in uniform now.

As a loyal supporter of our military heroes, you know how hard it is for our service members to miss treasured family moments, especially during the holidays. That's why we are hoping to get 50,000 signatures of appreciation for our heroes serving worldwide this Thanksgiving.

Our mission here at the USO is to make sure these service members know we see their sacrifice and deeply appreciate their service — especially on Thanksgiving. Can we count on you to sign the card now?

Thank you for supporting our service members,

Christopher Plamp
Colonel, U.S. Air Force, Retired
Chief Operating Officer, USO
