PRESIDENT GENERAL'S PROJECT
USO in a Box (click here for the USO in a box information flyer)
President General Power's project is a USO effort called "USO in a Box".
These "Boxes" include a self-contained diesel generator, with climate control (yes, heat and air conditioning!) The unit is "unfolded, and operational in 20 minutes after being dropped on site.
Each unit contains Internet access, two laptops, four flat screen televisions, a DVD player, Voice Over Internet Phone, three X-boxes 360 gaming systems, Guitar Hero and surround sound.
The units are delivered to a site for use and then moved to another location, usually "behind the lines of engagement". This project helps the USO provide their services to soldiers in remote regions who would normally have no access to USO services, thus allowing the servicemen and women the opportunity to contact their loved ones... to "Phone Home".

PATRIOTIC PROJECTS
USO. Members’ work with and financial support of the U.S.O. originated in San Francisco to serve the many troops going to and returning from Vietnam and even today remains focused on the U.S.O clubs. Recognition of the need to support the overseas U.S.O. clubs used by American servicemen prompted the National Society to broaden its interest in clubs based in Europe and the Far East.
Veteran’s Hospitals. Work of the Veterans Hospital Committee is nationwide and reflects the members’ gratitude to and interest in those veterans who require short- or long-term care. Service and financial assistance are National goals.
The National Society of New England Women is a proud Commemorative Partner of the Vietnam War Commemoration, to learn more about the Commemoration, please visit www.vietnamwar50th.com.
