• ‘Empire’ Stars Jussie Smollett, Taraji P Henson & Bryshere Gray Do USO Tour

    For some very lucky servicemen and women, Christmas came early this year for them and their families. USO and Twentieth Century FOX got together to send Empire castmembers Taraji P. Henson, Jussie Smollett and Bryshere Gray to Japan to visit the many troops stationed there. The three coworkers (and friends) chatted with hundreds of airmen and sailors, as well as their families, while touring the country. They also hosted free giveaways, an Empire Q & A and two parties open to those who serve and their entire families. As a cherry on top, the troops and their families were also treated to a concert featuring Smollett and Gray.

  • MoonPies for Troops: Craig Morgan Keeps Promise

    Troops heading home for the holidays this December will get a special treat courtesy of country singer Craig Morgan, who helped ship 35,000 MoonPies to USO centers across the United States. A U.S. Army veteran, Morgan assisted the sugary company with a six-month social media campaign in which consumers donated the pies to those currently serving overseas. According to the "Chattanoogan," via The Boot, Morgan is a "lifelong MoonPie fan" with four USO tours under his belt. He has visited more than 32,000 troops in Afghanistan, Guam, Iraq, Japan and elsewhere. This year, he appeared on 250,000 MoonPie retail cartons. "You would be amazed at what a simple taste from home means to someone who is fighting for our country," Morgan said.
