Nearly 20 years ago, a couple of service members approached me at the airport. They told me they’d watched “That '70s Show” while they were deployed to the Middle East, and that it helped keep them relaxed and entertained during really difficult times.
I was so moved that I immediately started looking for more ways to support our troops, which led me to my first USO tour in 2007.
Since then, I’ve taken every chance I can to support our heroes and am proud to serve in my second year as USO Global Ambassador, advocating for its important mission whenever I can. Meeting thousands of service members over the years, I intimately understand the strength it takes to wear that uniform. Their bravery, their selflessness, their sacrifices … it’s incredibly humbling.
Our troops put their lives on the line daily for all of America. After we FELL SHORT of our Giving Tuesday goal, our deadline was extended until midnight tonight — and we simply can’t let our troops down! That’s why I’m partnering with the USO to help raise critical funds to support our troops — and I’m counting on you to join me.
This is your last chance to make a Giving Tuesday gift for the service members who sacrifice so much to keep us safe. Give now to help us deliver:

Thanks for joining me in standing with our troops on this important day.
