USO’s-in-a-Box

The USO has just invented a portable USO “Center” that can be trucked or airlifted anywhere on Earth, including even the most remote mountaintop. The “ruggedized” container (like you see on the back of a trailer-truck), was designed for combat service. 

In less than 30 minutes, it converts to two comfortable rooms, offering wireless internet access, two computer stations, a flat screen TV with DVD player and three Xbox® 360 game consoles. Best of all, soldiers can call home and talk as long as they like, free of charge. All in a fully air-conditioned unit, powered by its own generator.

They’ve already shipped three USO’s-in-a-Box to Afghanistan. The Army has asked for four more. Each one costs $350,000 to build, outfit, and deliver to the Front. The USO needs to raise $1.4 million right now to get the new “Boxes” to the Front.

Please give whatever you can – any amount will help
