By MOAA Staff

To our members, your families and all our men and women in uniform, Happy Thanksgiving.

Whether you are standing watch for freedom or continue to serve as a veteran doing great work in our communities across America, we are grateful for all you do to live the MOAA mantra of Never Stop Serving. You are in our hearts and prayers. We are thankful for the many blessings, and for a MOAA staff who help add power to our work.

If you have an empty chair at your table this Thanksgiving, consider inviting a neighbor, a veteran or someone you know would otherwise be alone. The simplest gestures can lift others up.

At MOAA, we are giving our staff Friday off to help them to be where they are needed most and to connect with loved ones and help others where they can.

While our offices may be closed, know we’ll be back bright and early on Monday to help members and continue the work of advocating for all the uniformed services: United States Army, United States Marine Corps, United States Navy, United States Air Force, United States Coast Guard, United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
