About USO Liberty Bells:

The USO has always been proud to provide troops at home and overseas with opportunities to escape from the burdens of war and rigorous training through entertainment. The USO Liberty Bells are part of this American tradition that began with the muddy camp shows of the South Pacific over 70 years ago.

Today, this pride and passion that fueled our predecessors lives on through the USO Liberty Bells who serve as roving ambassadors of goodwill. They dazzle and delight audiences around the world making over 200 appearances throughout the year at deployment and homecoming ceremonies, veterans hospitals, aboard ships and at military installations, as well as at numerous corporate and fundraising events. The show troupe consists of talented and dedicated Broadway and off-Broadway men and women who are meticulously chosen through a competitive audition process. Their energetic shows feature patriotic favorites, WWII era hit songs such as Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, and an array of contemporary hits that appeal to our younger service members and their families.

The USO is committed to sharing a touch of home with our troops wherever they serve -- from free phone cards to gifts of appreciation, entertainment tours to just a simple hug. If you'd like to make a tax-deductible donation today to help support our troops please visit www.usonyc.org/donate or if you are interested in having the USO Liberty Bells at an upcoming event, please contact Stacie Wells Danahy at swells@usonyc.org
