Celebrating America 250
Members Only Section includes: Member Roster; Guest Speakers; and By-Laws
The Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) is the nation’s largest and most influential association of military officers. It is an independent, nonprofit, politically nonpartisan organization.
Welcome
WELCOME to the website of the MOAA Uniformed Services Nurse Advocates Virtual Chapter. If you are concerned about Military Healthcare issues which affect Uniformed Service Members (currently serving and Reserve/Guard components, Retirees, Veterans and their families), you’ve landed at the right site. If you’re a current or past member of a Uniformed Services Nurse Corps, you’re on a great path. We also require membership in the Military Officers Association of America, but that can be done as part of the application process at no cost. We also charge no dues! Our members have had interesting and diverse careers, with extraordinary expertise in many areas of nursing. Nurses have always been patient advocates, caring for them continues through advocacy for healthcare-related legislation and other important MOAA goals.
Purpose of MUSNAVC
To promote and support the Military Officers Association of America;
To foster fraternal relations and camaraderie among Military Nurses;
To advocate for Healthcare related services and programs for all Military service members, former and present.
Chapter Update
Celebrating America 250
This year we celebrate the U.S. Semiquincentennial. This is our opportunity to reflect back on our Nations history and what we have accomplished. Reflect on where we are now and most importantly to reflect on where we are going and how we are shaping for the future of these United States of America.
MUSNAVC will be including and sharing information from our members on the different events and ways they are participating in and celebrating throughout the year. If you have an event, story, reflection, photos that you want to share, please send them to musnavc@gmail.com
Our MOAA advocacy mission is to preserve and protect earned benefits for our uniformed services, veterans, their families, and surviving spouses through advocacy, leadership, education, and service, fulfilling MOAA’s promise to “Never Stop Serving.” You will find that many of our guest speakers, featured newsletter articles, and legislative news will have a greater focus on our advocacy mission.
National MOAA has recognized the significant role and contributions our Chapter members bring to the National Advocacy efforts of MOAA. Your membership, support, and commitment to “Never Stop Serving” is invaluable and much appreciated. Stay informed and stay involved.
For what it is worth, " I am Proud to be an American. I stood up next to you and defended her till the end. There is no doubt that I love this land. God Bless the U.S.A."
All the best,
LTC Joe Gollasch, USA (Ret)
