This is incredibly urgent.
The USO has been keeping our service members connected to their loved ones during the holidays since World War II, but we urgently need your help to keep up this important tradition. Right now, we still have a long way to go to hit our goal to help fund at least 3,000 phone calls home, and our deadline is at midnight tomorrow.
Because this is so important, a member of USO’s Board of Governors is MATCHING ALL GIFTS* — which means that every $29 you give now can help fund not one but TWO service members’ phone calls home this holiday season and into the new year.** Please, will you take advantage of this opportunity and rush $29 right now to help fund TWO phone calls home and other connections for service members?
| RUSH $29 TO HELP FUND TWO PHONE CALLS HOME** |
| RUSH $58 TO HELP FUND FOUR PHONE CALLS HOME** |
| HAVE ANOTHER AMOUNT MATCHED |
Thank you for being part of our longstanding tradition of helping our troops connect with their loved ones during the holidays and all year round.

Subject: MATCH ALERT: Help Fund Phone Calls Home
In just a few days, Americans will celebrate Christmas and New Year’s with family, friends, food and fun. However you celebrate, we sincerely hope you enjoy this time with family and loved ones.
But for troops deployed in some of the world’s most dangerous places to protect our freedom, it’ll just be another day. Another day in a lonely barracks, thousands of miles away from their loved ones. Another day of the same old mess hall food. Another day of hoping they’ll be able to find a way to call home before their kids go to bed. It’s up to us to brighten this day for them.
As the country gets ready to celebrate, the USO is determined to uplift our troops during the holiday season by providing critical programs and services, including at least 3,000 calls home so service members can talk to their families.**
And we’re so glad to share that a member of USO’s Board of Governors has agreed to MATCH all donations, dollar for dollar, up to a total of $35,000, but we’re counting on YOU to help us reach this ambitious goal by midnight Monday.
| $29 CAN HELP FUND TWO PHONE CALLS HOME** |

Spending the holidays far away from their loved ones is just one of many, many sacrifices our troops make throughout the year in service of our country, asking nothing of us in return. We may not be able to bring them home or fully understand the challenges they go through — but we can make sure they can talk to loved ones back home.
| MATCH MY GIFT |
Thank you for supporting our country’s heroes in uniform when it matters most.
