USO of Hampton Roads 2006 Military Guide
Who founded the USO?
The United Service Organizations (USO) was formed in 1941 in
response to a request from President Franklin D. Roosevelt that
private organizations handle the on-leave recreation of the U.S.
Armed Forces. Six civilian agencies: the Salvation Army, Young
Men’s Christian Association, Young Women’s Christian Association,
National Catholic Community Services, National Travelers Aid
Association, and the National Jewish Welfare Board coordinated their
efforts to provide services that were not duplicated or overlooked.
As a result, the USO center was born. Despite the conflicts and
uncertainty of the decades that followed, the USO center had
endured and continues to be regarded as a “home away from home”
for the U.S. Armed forces and their families.

Frequently Given Answers

USO of Hampton Roads Resources
When was the USO of Hampton Roads founded?
Although the USO operated dozens of centers on the Peninsula and
Southside during WWII, anti-military sentiments and budget cuts
during the 1960’s diminished the USOHR presence for almost 25
years.
The current USO of Hampton Roads traces its history back to 1984
when two off-duty sailors were shot to death in Newport News. It
was this incident that motivated the military and local communities
to create a place where members of the military and their family Military Appreciation Day at the Virginia Zoo
could go for support and recreation.
On September 15, 1985, with military, civilian and government
dignitaries in attendance, The Virginia Peninsula USO held its grand
opening at its center in the Hampton Coliseum Mall. In 1986 The
Virginia Peninsula USO received its first charter from USO World
Headquarters and was re-named the USO of Hampton Roads.
What is the mission of the USO of Hampton Roads?
It is the mission of the USO of Hampton Roads to enhance the
quality of life of the U.S. Armed Forces personnel and their families
worldwide and to create a cooperative relationship between U.S.
military communities and involved or supporter civilian communities.
With eight affiliate location service centers and over 750 volunteers,
the USO of Hampton Roads offers quality of life programs, family
outreach and information and referral services.
Is the USOHR part of the U.S. government?
The USO of Hampton Roads is a non-governmental, but
congressionally chartered organization. (Reference document:
Department of Defense Directive 1330.12 of November 01, 2000) The
USO of Hampton Roads depends on the generosity of individuals and
corporations to fund its programs and services. While it is affiliated
with USO World, it receives no funding from world headquarters.
What type of programs does the USOHR offer to military
personnel and their families?
The USO of Hampton Roads has eight affiliate location service
centers throughout Southeast Virginia and the Eastern Shore. Each
affiliate location service center is responsible for developing center
activities and programs and works closely with the Administrative
office to provide a wide variety of assistance and outreach to
fit the needs of military members and their families. Some of
these programs include: emergency lodging, mobile outreach,
orientation, information and referral, special holiday programs,
summer concerts, military appreciation days and Flightline
canteens.
What can I do to help the USOHR?
There are a variety of volunteer opportunities at the USO of
Hampton Roads. People who wish to volunteer should contact the
USOHR Administrative office at 757-788-4984 or visit our website at
www.usohr.org to fill out a volunteer form.

Roads provides volunteers for the event, and in return, has been the beneficiary of the
majority of the proceeds raised throughout the week.

USO of Hampton Roads 2006 Military Guide 39 (Eastern Shore)
On behalf of the Eastern Shore of
Virginia Chamber of Commerce, Welcome
to the Eastern Shore of Virginia!
he Eastern Shore of Virginia extends 70 miles
as a peninsula from the Maryland line on the
North, to Cape Charles in the South. Capt.
John Smith is quoted in describing the Eastern
Shore of Virginia with the words, “Heaven and
earth never agreed better to frame a place for
man’s…habitation.”
It has more than 128,000 acres of woodland, 143,000 acres of
tidal marsh and 263 square miles of water. This eye-catching
peninsula is intertwined with salty bays and tidal creeks that are
breath taking.

best known animals of
Chincoteague are the shaggy-coated
ponies. These ponies inspired the 1948

Marguerite Henry called “Misty of

these ponies are wild descendants of
horses brought to the New World on
Spanish Galleons.

USO of Hampton Roads 2006 Military Guide 43 (Hampton roads)
The Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce
is honored to serve the southeastern region of
Virginia known by the name Hampton Roads. As
the 31st largest Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)
in the United States, we are located where the
James, Nansemond and Elizabeth rivers meet the
Chesapeake Bay.
Hampton Roads is home to over 1.5 million people
who maintain close socio/economic ties among
our eighteen cities and counties. They include the
communities of Chesapeake, Franklin, Hampton,
Newport News, Norfolk, Poquoson, Portsmouth,
Suffolk, Virginia Beach, and Williamsburg; and the
counties of Gloucester, Isle of Wight, James City,
Mathews, Southampton, Surry, and York; and the
county of Currituck in North Carolina.
The name “Hampton Roads” is a nautical term
meaning protected anchorage or a safe harbor.
For more than 200 years, Hampton Roads’ ports
have served as a beacon for shipping interests and
mariners worldwide.
Designated in the late 17th century as the world’s
