At USO Okinawa, our mission remains unwavering: to strengthen the well-being of the men and women serving our nation and the families who serve right alongside them. In 2026, as service members continue to answer the call across the Indo Pacific, the importance of connection, community, and support has never been greater. From their first day in uniform through their transition home, the USO stands ready, offering programs, events, and welcoming centers that provide comfort and a sense of belonging.
Across Okinawa, our USO centers serve as a “home away from home”. These centers are places where Airmen decompress after long shifts, Marines gather to watch the big game, Sailors connect with loved ones, and Soldiers carve out a quiet moment between missions. These everyday connections matter, and they are made possible because of community partners who believe deeply in our mission.
One of those steadfast partners is Mediatti Broadband Communications, Inc.
During a recent check presentation at USO Kadena, we proudly recognized Mediatti’s continued commitment to our military community. With leaders, volunteers, and staff gathered together, the presentation highlighted a strong and enduring partnership that keeps our centers running smoothly and fully equipped to serve those who walk through our doors each day.
Henry Hughes, USO Okinawa Area Director, shared his appreciation during the presentation, emphasizing how essential Mediatti’s support is to our daily mission. “The center is the heart of what we do. In any USO center in the world, you will find comfort, connectivity, and a snack or refreshment. Without MBC’s steadfast support, the connectivity part of this equation would not be possible. Thank you for being a steadfast sponsor for 12 consecutive years.”
Mediatti’s sponsorship provides both critical financial contributions and invaluable in-kind donations, including high speed WiFi and high-definition cable television. These services go far beyond added conveniences. They provide essential connection and comfort for service members stationed thousands of miles from home.
In today’s always connected world, reliable internet access means being present for birthdays over video chat, helping with homework through a screen, streaming hometown news, or simply sending a late-night message to say, I am okay. Thanks to Mediatti, those meaningful moments happen every day inside our centers.
In addition, Mediatti’s HD cable service brings familiarity and comfort, whether it is football on Sunday, breaking news from back home, or a favorite show that offers a sense of normalcy. Behind the scenes, their expert technical support and fiber network management ensure our centers stay online and ready to serve, allowing our staff and volunteers to focus fully on caring for our military families.
Now marking more than a decade as a Platinum Sponsor, Mediatti continues to demonstrate what true community partnership looks like. Their consistent investment in USO Okinawa reflects a genuine commitment to the well-being of the service members and families who call Okinawa home.
On behalf of our staff, volunteers, and most importantly, the service members and families we are honored to serve, thank you, Mediatti. We are proud to stand together in support of those who serve, today and in the future.
