Inscription.
The Warren Historical Commission dedicates this plaque in recognition of the building that served as a United Service Organizations (USO) hall during World War II.

We honor the memory of the citizens of Warren who volunteered countless hours to provide many servicemen and women with comfort, companionship and entertainment — "A Home Away From Home" — through the doors of this building and through the efforts of the USO.

Sacrifices made by all Americans during the war, from the front lines to the home front, must not be forgotten by future generations.
