The USO was proud to support the Sgt. Anthony Patrick Muhlstadt Foundation Ruck by providing breakfast and snacks to the incredible Marines who took on the challenge! 🇺🇸💪

It was an honor to fuel these dedicated service members as they came together to demonstrate resilience, teamwork, and commitment. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event a success. Supporting those who serve is at the heart of what we do, and we’re grateful to be part of moments like these. ❤️🇺🇸

The USO Central Florida family is saddened by the loss of our beloved Legacy Volunteer, Ed.

Ed was a proud Coast Guard veteran who carried his commitment to service throughout his life. After his military service, he continued giving back through the USO, dedicating countless hours to supporting service members, military families, and fellow volunteers. His impact on our centers and the people who walked through our doors will not soon be forgotten.

If you knew Ed, you knew how proud he was of many things, especially his Coast Guard service and his Michigan roots. He never missed an opportunity to share a story, tell a joke, or spark a conversation. Whether he was welcoming guests, catching up with fellow volunteers, or reminiscing about his experiences, Ed had a way of making people feel like friends.

His kindness, sense of humor, and unwavering dedication to others made him a treasured member of the USO Central Florida family. While we will miss his stories, his laughter, and his presence, we are grateful for the legacy he leaves behind and the example he set through a lifetime of service.

Thank you, Ed. We are better for having known you, and you will be forever remembered.

Coastie. Volunteer. Storyteller. Friend.

❤️🤍💙

🇺🇸Did you know that a little fun can go a long way in boosting morale?

This past weekend, Uso Central Florida Tampa
made it happen for our military dorm residents!

They enjoyed a fantastic night filled with delicious pizza, tasty snacks, and essential toiletries to take back to their dorms. 🍕

But that's not all! They also played games for hours, creating lasting friendships and unforgettable memories.❤️🇺🇸

We love seeing the young unattached military members come out of their rooms to spend time with one another! 🥰❤️🇺🇸

🎸⚓ Day Two of our USO Adventures at Sail 250 New Orleans NOLA Fleet Week 2026 is coming to a close, and what an incredible day it has been!

As we reflect on today’s activities, it’s hard not to be amazed by the connections, music, and memories created at the USO Central Florida Hospitality Center.

One of the highlights of the day was welcoming the incredible veteran-led nonprofit band Vetted, along with special guest John Moyer of Disturbed, for an intimate acoustic-style session that had service members from around the world singing, clapping, and connecting through the universal language of music.

In a truly unforgettable moment, members of the Colombian Navy arrived with their own instruments and joined the performance, sharing their culture and music with everyone in attendance. The energy in the room was electric as Aaron kept the crowd engaged and excited throughout the event.

To top it all off, a Sailor from the Chilean Navy went home with a brand-new guitar generously donated by Vetted—a gift that will undoubtedly carry memories of New Orleans and Fleet Week for years to come.

Events like Rock the Waves remind us why we do what we do. They create community, build friendships across nations, and provide moments of joy and connection for those who serve.

Tomorrow, we’re excited to continue the adventure with Vetted’s performance at the National WWII Museum. If you’ve never heard of Vetted, be sure to check them out. They are an incredible nonprofit rock band made up of veterans who understand firsthand what it means to serve and sacrifice.

Thank you to Vetted, John Moyer, our volunteers, partners, and all the service members who made today so special.
