  10. As the United States military began to grow rapidly, Franklin Roosevelt realized the need to provide support for the military and link the armed forces with the civilian population. Therefore, he created the USO by bringing together these organizations: 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.

Centers offered a range of activities from holding dances, showing movies, bringing entertainers to the war front, and often providing a quiet place to write a letter home. Of course, one of the most popular offerings was the famous free coffee and doughnuts.
