LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

​September 2025

​​

As I type some legislative thoughts for this newsletter, I am reminded of a popular song of the 60’s in which the group noted that the “second verse (was) the same as the first”! So, once again I am reporting that the Summer Recess is over; the NDAA (Defense spending bill) has passed the House and is in the Senate; MOAA National continues to send out weekly email updates (you should be signed up to receive them); those emails encourage us to link to the Advocacy page on MOAA’s website to send pre-prepared messages to members of Congress (you should be doing that); and we need to be mindful that media coverage of the budget and the NDAA is oftentimes clouded in partisan rhetoric.  Like I said, “second verse, same as the first”: with only 100 veterans serving in Congress, it is important that the rest of the folks on the Hill hear from veterans – veterans who have Never Stopped Serving! That’s us!
