History
Since 1941, the USO has lifted the spirits of America's military and their families. The Bob Hope USO, which serves military members throughout Southern California, is a 501(c)3 non-profit operating under a charter from USO, Inc. We receive no funding from the government, Department of Defense or even USO Headquarters. We rely 100% on charitable donations from patriotic Americans and philanthropic organizations.
Specialties
Bob Hope USO Orange County operates a USO lounge at John Wayne Airport and provides USO services and programming in the region. It is part of the Bob Hope USO, which serves troops and their families from throughout Southern California. Visit our other locations at airports in Palm Springs, Ontario and at LAX. Admission: In accordance with the policy of USO, Inc., we welcome active duty and reserve troops, as well as dependent family members. We also welcome, on a space available basis, military retirees and their dependent family members. All must present valid military identification. For health and safety reasons, we occasionally need to limit center access when we reach our occupancy capacity. Although we honor all who have served, we cannot serve all and ask that non-retiree veterans honor our mission, which since our founding in 1941, has been to serve current troops and their dependent family members.
