Attention PSA Director

Since 1941, the USO's mission has remained the same: to provide welfare and morale-boosting activities to service members and their families. Today, the mission of the USO has not changed since their founding more than 70 years ago, but the challenges facing our men and women in uniform and their families have changed dramatically. More than 40,000 service members have been injured in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan and some estimates say more than 300,000 troops suffer from invisible wounds such as Post Traumatic Stress or Traumatic Brain Injuries.

The numbers only tell part of the story. We ask for your help in supporting our brave heroes by airing the patriotic PSA entitled "Portraits" (:60/:30/:15). These PSAs provide glimpses into the lives of some of our wounded heroes. Please consider airing this PSA early and often, with the undying gratitude of the USO and the incredible men and women who have served in the past and those who continue to serve our nation every day. We also have :30 and :15 LIVE READ PSAs. These PSAs are good for use through December 31, 2012.

The USO is a nonprofit organization and it relies on direct support from our communities to lift the spirits of men and women serving our country. Only through the benevolent cooperation of the media is the success of our mission assured. For additional information, please visit www.uso.org.

On behalf of our troops and their families, we thank you for your support of this public service message.
