The USO mission is to provide morale, welfare and recreation-type services to uniformed military Personnel. The original intent of Congress-and enduring style of USO delivery-is to represent the American people by extending a “Touch of Home” to their military members. Thus, although some USO programs/services are similar to those provided by other agencies, the hallmark of the USO has been and will continue to be HOW–as much as WHAT–services are provided.
