ARLINGTON, Va., May 1, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, the USO launches #Flex4Forces, a campaign that invites Americans to show their support for service members by flexing their biceps on social media and inviting others to do the same. Building upon the USO's mission to keep service members connected to family, home and country, the campaign calls on Americans to rally together as a Force Behind the ForcesSM to show their appreciation and support for our men and women in uniform, and their families.
The campaign kicks off May 1 in celebration of National Military Appreciation Month, runs through the patriotic season and will culminate July 4.
"At the USO, we believe service members should feel connected and supported, no matter where they serve, and Flex4Forces encourages Americans to recognize the service of the one percent who protect and defend our nation," USO CEO and President J.D. Crouch II said. "This campaign is a simple way to bring the American people closer to service members and to show them our strong support."
