OAA council and chapter presidents from across the U.S., accompanied by members of the national board of directors and headquarters staff, plus members of MOAA’s Currently Serving Advisory Council, Currently Serving Spouse Advisory Council, and Surviving Spouse Advisory Committee, stormed Capitol Hill April 13 and visited nearly all 535 senators and rep- resentatives in support of key legislative priorities. MOAA stormers used specially prepared


color brochures to urge their elected officials to reject disproportional TRICARE fee hikes and eliminate the Survivor Benefit Plan-Dependency and Indemnity Compensation Offset. In advance of the event, MOAA members sent nearly 15,000 messages to Capitol Hill, and many legisla- tors and staffers referenced these messages during their meetings with MOAA Hill-stormers.
