Our Mission The USO strengthens America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation. The USO as a Whole For over 77 years, the USO has been the nation’s leading organization to serve the men and women in the U.S. military, and their families, throughout their time in uniform. From the moment they join, through their assignments and deployments, and as they transition back to their communities, the USO is always by their side. Today’s USO continuously adapts to the needs of our men and women in uniform and their families, so they can focus on their very important mission. We operate USO centers at or near military installations across the United States and throughout the world, including in combat zones, and even un-staffed USO service sites in places too dangerous for anyone but combat troops to occupy. USO airport centers throughout the country offer around-the clock hospitality for traveling service members and their families. And our many specialized programs offer a continuum of support to service members throughout their journey of service. USO Denver USO Denver’s center at Denver International Airport opened on November 10, 2005. It is a 3,100 square-foot facility located on the 4th floor of the A Concourse. USO Denver’s center at Denver MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) opened on July 8, 2016. It is for applicants in the process of joining the military and their families, recruiters, as well as the MEPS staff. USO Denver serves Active Duty Military, National Guard, Reserve Personnel, Retired Career Service Members, Coalition Forces and all of their families. The USO is not part of the federal government. A congressionally chartered, private organization, the USO relies on the generosity of individuals, organizations and corporations to support its activities, and is powered by a family of volunteers to accomplish our mission of connection.
