USO World Gala 2008
For over six decades, the USO (United Service Organizations) has been providing morale, welfare and recreational services to U.S. military personnel and their families. The USO is a nonprofit, charitable organization, relying on the generosity of the American people to support its programs and services. This star-studded event will feature well-known entertainers from USO celebrity entertainment tours and will recognize a special volunteer, as well as honorees selected by the Senior Enlisted representatives from each branch of the armed forces for their extraordinary bravery, loyalty, and heroism.

Comedian Robin Williams and President Bush may have competed for laughs during the 2008 USO World Gala here last night, but it was five service members who got the audience’s greatest applause. An estimated 800 guests gathered to pay special tribute to our men and women in uniform. Guests included Washington dignitaries, Members of Congress, military leadership, celebrities, members of the USO World Board of Governors, USO corporate sponsors and the media.
