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. The National association plays an active role in military personnel matters and especially proposed legislation affecting the career force, the retired community, and veterans of the uniformed services. While MOAA is permitted by law to lobby and may advocate issues, it may not advocate the election or defeat of particular candidates or political parties. |
