From Washington
News for the Enlisted

For September 14, 2012

Congress is back. And the fur is already flying. On Tuesday Washington (and the rest of the country) stopped to remember the 9/11 attacks. On Thursday Washington stopped to remember Neil Armstrong. And 50 Marines have been sent to Libya to protect our diplomats. It has been a very somber week.

We hope next week will be much happier and that many of you will join us at TREA’s National Convention in Jacksonville Florida. It is at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville and it is still not too late to decide to come.) We will have plenty time to talk about what is happening in Washington and hear your concerns. HOPE TO SEE YOU IN JACKSONVILLE
