The USO and the National Football League have been partners for nearly 50 years and NFL players and coaches have been visiting troops around the world since the Vietnam War. In mid-November, the NFL will celebrate its annual Salute to Service with promotions that benefit the USO and other organizations serving troops and veterans. This year, the NFL offered NFL Game Pass for free to USO locations overseas, giving troops from Japan to Afghanistan the opportunity to watch their favorite teams live, just like they would back at home.
