USO (United Service Organizations)

Miss USO 2005 and The USO Troupe of Metropolitan NY will preside over the closing bell to celebrate their performance in Times Square on December 31st for New Year's Eve. Since 1941, the USO (United Service Organizations) has been a bridge between the American people and the U.S. military. In times of peace and war, the USO has consistently delivered its special brand of comfort, morale and recreational services to service members and their families. A nonprofit, congressionally chartered, private organization, the USO relies on the generosity of individuals, organizations and corporations to support USO activities. The USO is not part of the U.S. Government, but is supported by the President of the United States and the Department of Defense. Each President has been the Honorary Chairman of the USO since its inception. The USO mission is to provide morale, welfare and recreation-type services to our men and women in uniform. The original intent of Congress--and enduring style of USO delivery--is to represent the American people by extending a touch of home to the military
