Arlington, VA, March 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On this 2026 Opening Day presented by Adobe, the USO announces support from Major League Baseball® (MLB) for the people who serve in America’s military and their families.
“We are so grateful to the MLB for recognizing the sacrifice and dedication of service members and their families through support of the USO mission,” said USO CEO Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Michael Linnington. “As the country celebrates another grand Opening Day of MLB’s season, we recognize all the service members and military families around the globe for making this baseball season possible.”
The USO has worked with MLB players and teams across the league for many years.
