By / CNOtes /

From the USO Wikipedia: The USO is an American nonprofit that provides live entertainment, such as comedians, actors, and musicians, social facilities, and other programs to members of the United States Armed Forces and their families. Since 1941, it has worked in partnership with the Department of War, and later with the Department of Defense, relying heavily on private contributions and on funds, goods, and services from various corporate and individual donors. Although it is congressionally-chartered, it is not a government agency.
