Give More Than Thanks

Cody Hartman, who missed his daughter Emma’s sixth and seventh birthdays due to a deployment, teams up with the USO for a Disney Princess-themed celebration.

“GMA” joined with the USO during National Military Appreciation Month to throw them a wedding they won’t forget.

In honor of its 80th anniversary, the United Service Organizations (USO) has named country singer and actress Kellie Pickler, and producer, actor and activist Wilmer Valderrama as USO Global Ambassadors. USO tour veterans Pickler and Valderrama will help lead the effort for Americans, united in spirit and action, to give more than thanks to the military community.

There have been many actors, musicians, athletes and entertainers who have joined the USO in entertaining American troops at home and abroad since the organization’s founding in 1941. The list includes everyone from Bing Crosby to Ann-Margret, and of course the indomitable Bob Hope, whose legacy still lives on at the USO.

Give more than thanks so that the USO can continue to bring a little bit of home to our military, just when service members and their families need a reminder of home the most.
