Working closely with the Department of Defense, they operate 160 centers through-out the world. In peace times and in conflicts, "camp shows" were where they would bring in "live" shows to entertain the troops. The most notable entertainer was Bob Hope. Today Gary Sinese is very active in the USO ranks.
