Nominations can be in the following five categories: outstanding effort in supporting troops; dedication to providing superior medical attention to the wounded and injured; outstanding impact and success in generating promotional support of the USO; making a difference to improve the quality of life of service members; and youth leaders who champion and represent outstanding support of troops.
