Shipmates are veterans who continue to serve their nation long after their days in uniform are over.
FRA Shipmates and the members of the Ladies Auxiliary of the FRA are among the most active citizens in their communities and perform countless hours of volunteer work each year. In this issue of Naval Affairs, we spotlight several of the Shipmates who are filling the needs of their local communities. Calif. FRA Shipmates recognized a great need in their community and took action. The voices of FRA Shipmates have been heard all the way to Capitol Hill where, in just a few short months, FRA has made tremendous progress in the effort to repeal Redux. A strong effort from Shipmates and the FRA Legislative Team will continue the repeal Redux campaign in the 106 th Congress.
