This year marks the 50th anniversary of the USO Lounge at SFO. In 1966, SFO became the first airport in the nation to host a USO facility in its terminal complex. The USO center offers a spacious lounge and other services to members of the United States Armed Forces and their dependents while in transit and is located in the Terminal 1 Mezzanine. Open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, the USO center at SFO welcomes more than 25,000 military personnel annually. The USO's mission is to provide morale, welfare and services to uniformed military personnel and their families.
