USO Still Supporting the Troops

In early 1941, as it became clearer that the Unites States was headed into war, President Franklin Roosevelt created the USO to provide emotional support to troops. Since then the USO has evolved and developed new programs and services to lift the spirits of America’s service members and their families.  Steve Lee, committee co-chair of USO Tribute Cincinnati, and USO Metro President & Chief Executive Officer Elaine Rogers discuss the history and current mission of the USO, around the world and here at home.

Howard Wilkinson is in his 50th year of covering politics on the local, state and national levels.
