The USO Families of the Fallen lounge at Dover AFB, DE is configured to offer privacy for families. The lounge provide a comfortable waiting area for families who travel to Dover to attend a dignified transfer, an event that marks the return of a fallen servicemember to U.S. soil. USO volunteers and staff provide food and comfort to families of the fallen. Volunteers also assist families of the fallen with travel accommodations to ensure they are able to be present for what’s called a dignified transfer, when a fallen serviceman or woman’s remains are transported from an aircraft to the mortuary.
