Scarlett Supports Our Troops

Scarlett Johansson will travel to the Persian Gulf for five days to visit service members as part of a USO entertainment tour.

Scarlett believes that just writing a letter to a service member isn’t enough for her; she wants to really get involved. “This USO tour to the Gulf region truly means a lot,” she says. “I’ve wanted to go over and visit for some time, and now my moment has arrived. It’s one thing to reply to a letter or extend your thanks to service members in a speech, but it’s another thing to visit them and spend time with those that do so much for us back home.”

The USO’s mission, to support U.S. troops and their families wherever they serve, has included celebrity volunteers in the past like Cher, Jessica Simpson and Morgan Freeman.
