This year, the United Service Organizations (USO) celebrated its 75th anniversary of strengthening America’s military, including military nurses, by keeping them connected to family, home and country throughout their service.
One of the most prominent ways in which the USO helps connect troops with family members is the USO Wishbook gift program, which provides comfort food packages, long distance bedtime stories, international phone calls, and more to troops. As a special 75-year anniversary gift, Johnson & Johnson is committed to matching Wishbook gifts this holiday season November through December (up to $400,000).
Also during this holiday season, the USO is a cause on Donate a Photo, an app from Johnson & Johnson that connects people to causes they care about. For each photo shared, Johnson & Johnson will donate $1 to the USO. That $1 will go toward providing a video call or phone call for deployed service members, helping them to stay in contact with their loved ones. It takes 75 photos to enable 44 connections at a USO Center. Donating a photo is easy, download the app via the App Store or Google Play, select the USO cause and share a photo!

And be sure to catch the new documentary film “USO – For The Troops,” which aired earlier this month on PBS and was made possible by Johnson & Johnson, the story of the USO and how it has kept military service personnel, including military nurses, connected to family, home and country for more than seven decades is told against the backdrop of a recent USO tour that spanned seven countries in eight days.
