USA Patriotism! proudly recognizes . . . a great patriot star and only second to Bob Hope when it comes to supporting our troops through the USO . . . Wayne Newton (Mr. Las Vegas)

Wayne Newton's support of the troops, primarily through his enduring relationship with the USO, is as long as his entertainment career.  Over the years, he has entertained in every military conflict since and including the Vietnam War.

  • He performed for nearly 25,000 service members aboard ships off Beirut in1983, soon after the bombing of the U.S. Marine Barracks.

  • He was the first USO performer to go to Afghanistan.

  • Wayne Newton led a tour to Bosnia and Kosovo, and participated in the USO's first tour to Iraq.

  • Since October 2001, he also has served as Chairman of the USO Celebrity Circle, with unparalleled dedication, assisting in the recruitment of other celebrities to entertain troops and helping to increase awareness of the USO.

Whether he is celebrating July 4th with troops in Korea, comforting a wounded soldier in Iraq, signing autographs on his annual holiday tours or calling a soldier's wife to let her know her husband is fine, Wayne Newton has ensured that service members know they are not forgotten.

Wayne Newton's thoughts about the troops...

"... these men and women are over there because our country sent them, and we have the absolute necessity to try to bring them as much happiness as we can.”
