SOME THINGS
NEVER CHANGE.
Today, with immeasurable gratitude,
as we stand to
honor the men and women who
gave their lives for our
freedom more than 60 years
ago, a new generation
of Americans stands face to
face with the enemies of our
nation once again. None can
know what fills their
hearts and minds as those who
have answered the call
themselves, who know the loneliness,
the fears and the
horrors of war. Herein lies
the mission of the USO.
Today we ask you to remember
the efforts of the USO
over the past 63 years and
pledge your support that
will allow us to continue to
stand by our best and our
bravest. As we did then, we
do now. And so the USO
will carry on, until every
brow is soothed, and every hand
is held, until every song is sung, and every battle won.
Until every one comes home.
