Board Position Descriptions
Top Military Photos

A collection of the Top 100 Military Photographs. First used at the Louisiana Veterans Honor Medal Awards Luncheon, held in 2009 at Hoban Hall on Barksdale AFB. The presentation comes from an insert in the Army/ Navy/AF Times. Many people in attendance at the luncheon wanted to see the photos again, so we decided to include it on our website.

Enjoy!

[Note] PowerPoint is needed to view the presentation. The free version can be downloaded from this link.

MOAA – One Organization for Every Officer, at Every Stage

This website is the online voice of the Ark-La-Tex Chapter of MOAA, headquartered at Barksdale AFB, Louisiana and is a supplement to our monthly newsletter, The Military Officer. Thank you for visiting.

The Military Officers Association of America is an association of officers, just like you. We understand the needs and concerns of officers and their families. We are here to help you meet those needs and life`s challenges along the way.

Year after year, MOAA successfully defends the interests of all military personnel, advances their cause within DoD and on Capital Hill, and provides a host of vital resources and benefits that serve the needs of officers and their families.

As the most powerful organization of its kind, only MOAA has the influence and expertise to make your voice heard and provide the services and resources you need to improve the quality of life for you and your family.

When you joined the military, you became part of something bigger. The bonds you forge stay with you throughout your life. The same is true with MOAA. When you become a member, you are joining a community of officers who share a sense of camaraderie and patriotism that lasts a lifetime.

The benefits of belonging to an organization that is fighting for your rights, helps to ease the transition to new careers, shields you from the rising costs of insurance, guides you through life’s challenges, keeps you informed, and makes higher education a reality.

Join the one military association that is with you every step of the way . . . serving your needs and fighting for your rights. Whether you are deployed overseas, making the transition to a second career or grappling with your retirement benefits, the Military Officers Association of America is on your side for life.

For 75 years, MOAA has been serving those who serve their country. With nearly 370,000 members from every branch of the service, including active duty, retirees, Guard and Reserve officers, and their families, we are proud to be the country’s largest and most influential officers association.
