"Supporting our military, past and present, is a role that is very important to us as members of our community," says Jay Gandee, President of LearnSmart. "For this reason, LearnSmart proudly partners with the USO in their efforts to support our military and their families. Participating in LearnSmart training provides military members with the opportunity to continue learning and improve their skill set; with our training, LearnSmart can further equip U.S. military men and women for greater service, in and out of the military."

The USO records that throughout the year, nearly 300,000 military members and their families pass through the Tampa International Airport. The USO Center is located inside the airport providing Internet and phone access, laptops, and refreshments to the traveling military members. "It's because of the support of companies like LearnSmart that USO Tampa Bay has been able to provide a 'home away from home' for many of our nation's service members," says USAF Colonel and USO Tampa Bay Director Tony Buntyn. The USO aims to support troops by addressing their social, morale, welfare, and entertainment needs through various programs and services. Donations made to the USO Tampa Bay are used for the purpose of meeting those needs. LearnSmart invites the general public to donate to the USO Tampa Bay, by visiting http://usotampabay.org
