Yellow Ribbon Program
USO Operation Enduring Thanks supports military unit homecomings, deployments and Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program events throughout the state. Whether returning from a deployment to a combat zone or deploying to one, the USO is there to ensure service members and their families feel appreciated and cared for.
If your unit is hosting a resource fair and/or ceremony, please email IllinoisUSO@uso.org for information on how the USO can support the event.
If your service member is returning from deployment or deploying through one of our airport centers please contact USO O'Hare or USO Midway directly for information on how to be with your service member at the gate.
USO O'Hare: 773-686-7396 or 773-601-9500
USO Midway: 773-582-5852
