Families of the Fallen
The USO has supported every dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base since March 1991. Additionally, 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 this tragic news.
Locally, USO Arizona has a specially-trained team to serve the families of our fallen heroes, working with the airlines, TSA, and PHX staff to get family members through security, plane-side, and arranging transportation through the airport.
