MILWAUKEE A nonprofit well known across the U.S. is celebrating a big milestone this year.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the USO. It’s an organization that helps both members of the military and their families.
World War II, that’s when the USO first began. It’s a non profit organization working to take care of military members in a time of need. That mission remains the same 80 years later.
“The USO’s original motto was a home away from home, and while that has changed over the years, that sentiment has never gone away,” WWII USO Preservation Association Member, Jacqueline Dethloff says.
