The USO provides global entertainment, a care-package delivery program, military spouse and youth programming and more from over 250 locations around the world. The 2023 tour visited installations in the United Kingdom, Poland, Romania and Germany.

“It was such an honor to be part of the USO’s amazing tradition to boost our military’s morale for over 80 years,” says Young. “This was an experience I will never forget.”

Two-time NFL Super Bowl Champion Vince Wilfork, magician and spray paint artist Justin Flom, actor Dulé Hill and magicians Penn & Teller also joined the journey, which marked the first USO tour for all involved. They performed for service members, civilians and families stationed overseas. The shows included magic, comedy, tap-dancing and music as well as opportunities for the audience to take photos with the stars.
