"The Liberty Bells"
USO Show Troupe 2008 |
 
The USO “Liberty Bells” is one of many ways the USO demonstrates its commitment to bringing quality entertainment to American military personnel and their families. Among the eight performers are professional dancers, recording artists, off-Broadway, and Broadway performers. The “Liberty Bells” provide a nostalgic and patriotic touch to events of all kinds as well as morale and gratitude to our troops serving in the tri-state area and beyond. The USO show troupe performs at military homecoming and deployment ceremonies, VA hospitals tours, and shows in honor or our fallen heroes. They also entertain at high-profile venues including New York Mets and Yankees games, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, NBC’s Rockin’ New Years Eve and many others. No audience is too small or too large; no venue is too remote or extravagant for the Liberty Bells to bring entertainment and a touch of home to the men and women of our military. |
