We look forward to visiting America's sons and daughters who keep our nation safe and showing them that they will always have the support of those they serve."
Also participating in the tour are American Idol alumni Diana DeGarmo and Ace Young, American film, stage and television actor Dennis Haysbert , Miss America 2015 Kira Kazantsev, platinum recording artist and season 11 "American Idol" winner Phillip Phillips and motion picture and television personality Jason "Wee Man" Acuna.
About the USO
The USO lifts the spirits of America's troops and their families millions of times each year at hundreds of places worldwide. We provide a touch of home through centers at airports and military bases in the U.S. and abroad, top quality entertainment and innovative programs and services. We also provide critical support to those who need us most, including forward-deployed troops, military families, wounded warriors, troops in transition and families of the fallen. The USO is a private, non-profit organization, not a government agency. Our programs and services are made possible by the American people, support of our corporate partners and the dedication of our volunteers and staff.
