Families of the Fallen


The USO has supported every dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base since March 1991. As family notifications occur at all times of the day and night, the USO works 24/7 to coordinate among USO centers across the country to support and comfort families traveling to and from Dover, meeting the myriad needs of families who have just received tragic news. The USO’s reach expands beyond Dover, with a vast network of support for our families of the fallen from coast to coast.
