5 Since Bob Hope entertained troops fighting overseas in WWII, the USO has been a source of comfort and support for U.S. military service members far from home.
For over 75 years, the USO’s work has ranged from organizing extravagant shows in combat zones with celebrity entertainers, to providing things as simple as a safe place to nap during a layover.
The USO continued that tradition on April 25, 2021, when Soldiers at Forward Operating Site (FOS) Powidz, Poland, received care packages that were part of an especially large shipment. Soldiers of the Florida Guard’s 50th Regional Support Group (RSG) from Homestead, Florida, distributed the kits provided by the USO.
