Operation Advocacy
Since 1969, NMFA has championed the needs of military families and elevated their voices through powerful advocacy. From urging Congress to act through letter-writing campaigns to monitoring key bills and delivering testimony, we amplify the voices of military families where it matters most. Every action we take reinforces what our community already knows: military families serve too.
