The USO continues its tradition of entertaining deployed American troops. Launching this year's holiday season, a number of entertainers and officials joined the new Chairman of the USO's Celebrity Circle, Wayne Newton-here, in his Navy first-class petty officer uniform with actress Bo Derek.
Saturday Night Live comedian Rob Schneider entertains in a scene reminiscent of the 1960s when comedians Bob Hope and Don Knotts toured for the USO.
A highlight of the tour occurred when Secretary of the Navy Gordon England, wearing a Kevlar helmet, made a practice jump from a five-story training tower for U.S. Army parachutists in Vicenza, Italy.
