Howell Can Show Support For Troops Via USO Page

There's plenty of ways to show an active duty soldier you care this season, but a new platform from the USO is putting Howell — and everywhere else — on the map.

The "Thanks from Everywhere" online map the USO created allows users to log in and blast a message of thanks to troops, while pinning their message to the commenter's ZIP code.

That means that servicemen and women from Howell can see what folks from their hometown have to share. The map allows those in active duty to leave messages to their hometown, too.

The site has a scrolling list of messages from everywhere, but simply type in a ZIP code in the search bar and you can see what folks from that ZIP are saying.

Some of the heartfelt messages from Howell residents: "I can't imagine how hard it is to be away from your family for the holidays. As I spend the holidays safely with mine, I know it is because of you and your sacrifice. From the bottom of my heart, thank you"

Check out the interactive map here. Once on the page, you can leave a message of your own after logging in on the right.
