NEWS: THE USO LETS AMERICAN CITIZENS GIVE PERSONAL THANKS TO TROOPS ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: Video, hard copy requests, contact information and more available at http://www.prnewswire.com/broadcast/20171/press.shtml STORY SUMMARY: For more than half a century, the USO or United Service Organizations has been a bridge between the American public and the U.S. Military. Most people think of famous faces like Bob Hope when they think of the USO. For decades, USO entertainment tours have brought celebrity entertainment to the front lines, hoping to lift morale and express gratitude. But you don't have to have a high profile to show support. The USO reaches out through family and community centers, airports and mobile canteens. Special programs include 'Operation Phone Home' where free prepaid phone cards are distributed to the military and 'Operation USO Care Package' where the USO delivers items the troops have asked for, like toiletries, snacks and games. Last year alone, military personnel and family members visited USO centers more than five million times. To find out how to support the troops this holiday season, visit http://www.uso.org/.
