Do you have memories of the United Service Organization (USO)?
- Did your grandparents meet at a USO canteen during World War II?
- Have you attended or seen a video clip of a Bob Hope USO show?
- Have you visited a USO center on a military installation while serving stateside or overseas?
- Have you seen or used a USO airport center while travelling?
You will have an opportunity to discover the USO's rich history at the next RSVP Lunch and Learn event.
From 1941 through today, we will learn how the USO supports men and women in uniform from enlistment, through assignments and deployments, to their transition back into their communities. The USO is always there to keep military members connected with family, home and country.
We will hear from staff at each USO center in Escambia County including Pensacola International Airport, Corry Station on Chief's Way, and Naval Air Station Pensacola on Ellyson Avenue. Volunteer opportunities at these centers will also be explored.
Our event will conclude by awarding a door prize with airport "bling" and touring the USO Center at the airport.
This event is free, including lunch and parking, for RSVP AmeriCorps members and their guests who are 55 and better. Pre-registration however, is required. Parking instructions and directions to the conference room will be sent to those who have pre-registered before the event.
