The USO Troupe of Metropolitan New York
is made up of three talented and dedicated women. Our 2002 show, "A
Salute to America," can be of any
length up to 60 minutes and includes song,
dance, audience participation and costume changes. The show is appealing to all ages. The
USO Troupe of Metropolitan New York also has a nostalgic 1940's USO Show that is
charted for up to a 60 piece concert band.
Each year we travel to 24 veteran hospitals and nursing home care
units in the tri-state area. We present a holiday show in December and in
February, during National Salute To Hospitalized Veterans Week, we travel over 1300 miles.
After each show we spend time with the veterans
sharing stories and autographing pictures. We have made some very dear
friendships over the years and look forward to our visits as much as the
veterans do.
