ABOUT WARRIOR WEEK
The USO strengthens America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation.
USO Warrior Week is a series of athletic, recreational, and social activities for service members and their families, combined with educational and entertaining public elements.
Warrior activities include surfing, kayaking, cycling, waterskiing, as well as adaptive and therapeutic activities meant to facilitate physical and psychological wellbeing.
USO Warrior Week social and educational events facilitate interactions between military and civilians and provide an opportunity for the civilian community to see that our service members are more than brave people keeping them safe. These common unifying experiences between the military service members and civilians lets the military know they are supported, valued, and respected by their country.
