It Starts With You - Military Appreciation Month!

May is Military Appreciation Month and the perfect time to show our service members that they are valued and appreciated for the sacrifices they make every day. This year’s campaign, “It Starts with You,” will come to life with inspirational stories of people whose actions were the start of something greater. By joining us as a corporate partner, your actions — no matter how big or small — strengthen our service members in the challenges they face each day, because they know they matter to the people they protect.

During Military Appreciation Month, the USO calls on supporters everywhere to take one meaningful step for those who serve and see how their support can be the start of something bigger than themselves. For Example:

· One message of support can remind a service member they are valued and not forgotten, even when they are far from home.

· One volunteer’s warm welcome at a USO Center can turn a service member’s tough day into a better one just by showing they care.

· One small donation helps the USO provide critical support around the world, from warm meals during emergencies to Wi-Fi connections that bring families closer.

Your actions — no matter how big or small — strengthen our service members in the challenges they face each day, because they know they matter to the people they protect. You can show them you care by sending a message of support during Military Appreciation Month and encouraging your professional and personal networks to do the same. By aligning with the USO, the world’s premiere nonprofit organization serving our active-duty military and their families, your company will:

· Enhance reputation and brand loyalty

· Boost employee morale

· Gain a point of differentiation in the marketplace

· Benefit from the halo effect of alignment with the USO brand

· Positively impact the lives of service members and their families
