The USO has a yearly tradition of giving gifts to US troops who were not able to make it home during the Yuletide season.

Last Christmas Eve, Kellie Pickler and USO distributed televisions, snacks, toiletries and video games to the troops in Afghanistan. The US soldiers were happy, saying the USO Convoy has made them experience the Christmas Cheer.
