USO - For the Troops (2016x23)

Date de diffusion: Nov 07, 2016

For 75 years, abroad and on the homefront, the USO (United Service Organizations) has been by the sides of American service members at every point in their military journey. USO - For the Troops takes viewers behind the scenes and inside the organization, providing an eye-opening glimpse into how the USO has kept service personnel connected to country, home and family. The film takes the viewer behind the scenes on a 2016 around-the-world USO tour, and offers unprecedented access to the background operations that make it possible for celebrities to travel across the world purely to express their gratitude to the troops and bring echoes of home to those stationed overseas. In-depth interviews with Jon Stewart, Jay Leno, Colin Powell, Ann-Margret, former President George W. Bush, Raquel Welch, Al Franken and a host of other personalities highlight the importance of these tours to the men and women who serve in our armed forces.
