We had the best time crafting, paper plane flying, and yard gaming at the 3-335th Training Support Battalion Family Day this past weekend!

It was the perfect way to close out the summer season with some fun!

⚾️🇺🇸 A night at Wrigley Field honoring those who serve! 🇺🇸⚾️

The USO was proud to be part of the Chicago Cubs Armed Forces Night on September 1!

It was an incredible evening filled with moments honoring our military community, and we were honored to help bring several special moments to the field — including:

🎶 RTC Choir singing the National Anthem
⚓️ Great Lakes Sailors taking the field 
🇺🇸 First Army Color Guard
⚾️ Army service member throwing out the first pitch
🎖️ Marine honoree
🎤 And USO staff joining in to sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during the 7th inning stretch!

We’re grateful to the Cubs for giving us the opportunity to celebrate and recognize the incredible men and women who serve our country and their families.

From the ballpark to the battlefield and everywhere in between, the USO is proud to support our military community.

Happy National Dog Day! 🐶🇺🇸

Meet the dogs behind our USO Centers!

Louie and Lanay, our incredible therapy dogs at USO O’Hare and Midway, bring comfort, joy, and plenty of tail wags to service members and their families traveling through our airports.

We’re also celebrating the beloved dogs who are part of our USO staff and volunteer families across Illinois. They may not wear a USO badge, but they’re definitely part of the team! Give your favorite pup an extra belly rub today!
