Meet the USO’s Newest Global Ambassador: Craig Morgan

For generations, the USO has brought moments of connection to service members around the world through the power of entertainment. Whether through well-known USO tours or virtual visits into Centers and homes across the globe, the list of entertainers who have dedicated their time to giving back to our nation’s Armed Forces is extensive, ranging from the indomitable Bob Hope to Toby Keith, all leaving a legacy at the USO.

Today, a new generation of entertainers has stepped up to provide service members with a touch of home, often when they need it most. Acting as a bridge between the military community and the American public, these USO entertainers not only express our nation’s gratitude for those serving, but also help raise awareness around the important USO mission of strengthening the well-being of service members and their families. Proudly known as USO Global Ambassadors, these individuals often have a deep connection and appreciation for the military.

In 2026, we are excited to announce our newest USO Global Ambassador: country music artist and U.S. Army Reserve soldier Craig Morgan.

From Serving to Supporting Those Who Serve

Craig has shared his talent with the USO for the last 24 years, entertaining nearly 55,000 service members at 56 bases in 18 countries. Over the course of 12 USO tours overseas, Craig has visited with deployed service members in Germany, Japan, Afghanistan, Kuwait and Iraq. Earlier this year, Craig provided live entertainment to boost the morale of those navigating intense conditions in the Middle East. His dedication and passion for supporting our service members and their families led to Craig being awarded the USO Merit Award in 2006.

“It is one of my greatest honors to have been selected by the USO to serve alongside them as a Global Ambassador,” said Craig. “For over two decades, I’ve been privileged to play a role in lifting up our men and women in uniform, and their families, through the USO’s vast reach around the world. I am now proud to deepen my involvement in a new capacity. It’s a responsibility I don’t take lightly, and I can’t wait to continue the mission of strengthening the well-being of our nation’s finest until they all come home.”

Having served for nearly two decades in the Army and Army Reserve, Craig understands firsthand the pressures that can come with military service. As a USO Global Ambassador, he will dedicate his time to providing connection through music, lived experience and helping to strengthen the well-being of service members.

Craig made his first official appearance as a USO Global Ambassador at the America250 x USO Celebration of Service event on Veterans Day at The Coca-Cola Company’s Atlanta Office Campus.
