BULLETIN!!!! Business meeting rescheduled

Wreaths across America (WAA) is a national movement to place live wreaths on the headstones of vet-erans during the month of Decem-ber to honor all veterans as well as active military members. Camp Nelson has nearly 15,000 graves with more added daily. Wreaths across America has been celebrated there for only a few years. In 2017, about 1,000 wreaths were sponsored. WAA seeks individuals, families

and groups to contribute as spon-sors at $15 per wreath. To learn more about this endeavor and how to contribute click on the WAA logo above. WAA is also seeking volunteers for a variety of task related to the lay-ing of wreaths and surrounding ceremony.

MOAA, including the Kentucky Council and the Bluegrass Chap-ter, is an independent, nonprofit, politically nonpartisan organization. dedicated to maintaining a strong national defense and ensuring our nation keeps its commitments to currently serving, retired and former members of the unformed services and their families and survivors. Membership is open to those who hold or have ever held a warrant or commission in any component of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Public Health Service or NOAA and their surviving spouses.

NEVER STOP SERVING. The MOAA Bluegrass Chapter is a Sect. 501(c )(19) tax-exempt veterans organization

There is a lot going on right now regarding our health care plans at the federal level, ac-tivities with the Kentucky Department of Vet-erans Affairs, and our own MOAA chapter. This month’s Presidents Corner is designed to give all of you a bit of insight regarding these events and hopefully spark your input as we move into the fall of 2018. Most notably, the VA Choice program is under revision and as with any big change, some is good, and some may be problematic. The Choice program is designed to permit

veterans to seek care on the economy when that care is either not available within the VA structure or when reasonable access times cannot be met by VA sources. In either event, the veteran seeks care with a private non-VA provider and the VA pays the cost. Like so many simple concepts (it sounds good if you say it fast) there have been com-plications with the Choice program that need attention. Revisions will bolster the oversight of civilian providers to ensure that the pro-vider is appropriately credentialled, that the services are appropriately recorded in the VA health record, and that the fees are consistent with standard community rates. The revisions to the Choice Program will address these matters but until they can be implemented, funding for the current Choice Program has been allocated. All these are steps in the right direction, but we will re-serve judgement until all the implementing regulations are available. A second and really important change that is coming in November deals with the military-sponsored dental coverage plans. The As-sistant Secretary of Defense for Health Af-fairs (OASDHA) has ended the TRICARE cov-

erage for dental ser-vices that many of us currently purchase through Delta Dental. Anyone currently us-ing the TRICARE den-tal insurance MUST transfer coverage to the Federal Employees Health Benefit Pro-gram (FEHBP) during its open season this

November/December. To accomplish this, you must enroll online at the FEHBP website. There are step by step guides, but in addi-tion to selecting a policy, you must make sure that your dental provider actually accepts the plan you select. I urge all of you to start by visiting the site at your earliest convenience and asking questions as you go along. Actual enrollment will become effective on Jan. 1, the same date that your TRICARE cov-erage will expire. If you have any questions, please contact me at my email and I will do my best to get you to the right source of as-sistance. Since this whole process is moving away from Health Affairs, there will be no opportunity for a grace period if you miss this window. As far as the Commonwealth goes, we will have the opportunity to meet our new Com-missioner, Retired BG Benjamin F. Adams III. As we look forward to a new legislative cycle, I am hoping to see progress in continuing to make Kentucky a user-friendly state for mili-tary families. Within our chapter, we are approaching our annual meeting at the end of the year when we will elect our leadership. In addition

to our traditional offices, I am hoping to re-cruit several members to take on responsibil-ity for our ROTC programs, another to ad-dress community outreach projects to in-creases our visibility within our region, and a third person to invigorate our recruiting ef-forts. These three members would work with one of our elected officers but would gener-ally have full control of their individual pro-ject areas. I invite any of our members who may have an interest in one of these areas to step for-ward.

“This provision not only disregards the intent of the FY17 NDAA, which fully appreciated the difference between the many years of service as compared with new entrants, it patently results in yet another round of significant increases on that select population-affecting those who served a full military career and endured in-creases last year when the Defense Health Agency uni-laterally implemented changes to the fee tables resulting

in those net increases,. These new out of pocket cost increases, if ap-proved, would be achieved through higher enrollment fees, new non-network deductibles, higher cata-strophic caps and phar-macy fee increase--all of which significantly erode military health care.”

If you think that the cards and letters MOAA urges you to send to your Congressional representa-tives and Senators, read on: The final version of the fiscal 2019 National Defense Authorization Act, released In late July, no long-er includes a plan that would have resulted in unfair fee increases for many retirees and their families enrolled in TRICARE. This decision, made by leaders of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees, follows a campaign from the Military Offic-ers Association of America and thousands of their members to get the measure removed, which would have eliminated the grand-fathering for beneficiaries en-rolled in TRICARE prior to Janu-ary 1, 2018 with the intent to es-tablish a single co-payment struc-ture for all beneficiaries. Congress's inboxes were flood-ed with over 17,000 MOAA-

suggested messages explaining that yet another round of fee in-creases was unacceptable for TRI-CARE beneficiaries. This mass swell of grassroots support, com-bined with many thousands more messages from partners in The Military Coalition, played an im-portant role in shaping the con-versation as the defense bill went to conference committee. Lt. Gen. Dana T. Atkins (USAF Ret.), MOAA's President and CEO, wrote Congressional leaders earlier this month, asking for the removal of the provision, Section 701 of the Senate version of the NDAA.

MOAA urges member action on ‘widows tax’

In August, most U.S. senators and representatives will be on recess in their home districts to meet with constit-uents. This is a great opportunity for you as a MOAA member - to visit your elected officials' local offices or town hall meetings and advise them of your and MOAA's concerns on important matters. Lawmakers have finished their work on the annual De-fense Authorization Bill - the earliest it's been done in 20 years. One thing lawmakers did not address in the annual Defense Authorization Bill is the “widows tax.” Under current law, survivors of deceased military members for-feit part or all of their Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) annuity when they are awarded the VA's Dependency and Indem-nity Compensation (DIC). For approximately 67,000 mili-tary survivors, the widows tax makes SBP the only insur-ance you pay into but are legally prohibited from collect-ing.

MOAA needs members to meet with or write to elect-ed officials to urge them to support H.R. 846 and S. 339, bills sponsored by Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) and Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), respectively. This may be MOAA’s last chance this year to eliminate the widows tax. It's imperative to let our legislators know how mem-bers feel about these important topics. This isn't just a “defending our rice bowl” issue; it's a critical matter for sustaining retention and readiness - the core of our national defense - over the long term. You don't have to be an expert on the widows tax. MOAA has developed a two-page fact sheet on the issue (http://www.moaa.org/uploadedFiles/Content/Take_Action/Widow'sTax.pdf) that you can print and leave with the legislators and/or their staffs. One of the reasons MOAA has been successful on Capitol Hill is that we have members who are willing to contact their legislators and express their views on issues that are important to them. Leaders who can say “We represent nearly 3,000 MOAA members in Ken-tucky” to help convey that they're speaking for a sub-stantial group of constituents. The grassroots support of our members has never been as important as it is now. You can use MOAA's website to find your legisla-tors' local offices and send suggested messages to your representatives on a number of key issues.

by U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman

The greatest strength of our nation’s mili-

tary has always been, and remains, our

exceptional service members. The military

services have the privilege of drawing

from a large

and diverse talent pool, including dedicat-

ed and talented immigrants.

Today, there are thousands of immi-

grants serving with distinction. Immigrants

serving today are a valued and integral

part of our military’s readiness. Every day,

noncitizens with legal permanent resident

status join the military. However, recent

news reports would lead you to believe

otherwise.

These news reports conflate the large

number of legal permanent residents who

continue to enter the military with a rela-

tively small number of individuals who

were identified as security risks after ap-

plying under a special program that was

suspended in 2016. This special program,

referred to as the Military Accessions

Vital to the National Interest

(MAVNI) program, was designed to au-

thorize enlistment of non-U.S. citizens

who possess certain critical language and

medical skills.

In 2016, the Obama administra-

tion suspended the MAVNI pro-

gram because of serious security

concerns; no new applicants have

been allowed since then. A 2016

Defense Department inspector

general’s investigation confirmed

what several other classified as-

sessments found: The MAVNI

program was vulnerable to an

acceptable level of risk from insid-

er threats such as espionage, ter-

rorism and other criminal activity.

Every individual, regardless of

citizenship, who applies for military ser-

vice must pass background checks. De-

pending on the individual’s background

and military career field, additional vetting

may be required.

It is during these checks

that DoD uncovered trou-

bling information on a small

number of MAVNI applicants.

In some cases, these checks

were not completed,

and the threats not identified,

until after the individual had

already been enlisted in the

military.

Recently, DoD officials

shed additional light on this

issue when they publicly re-

leased more details about

those security concerns. The document,

which is a court filing in an ongoing

MAVNI lawsuit, identifies several specific

examples of individuals who were allowed

into the military and then found to have

been security risks. Some examples:

• Multiple individuals enlisted in the

military based on fake visas to attend

universities that did not exist.

• Several MAVNI recruits attended and

falsified transcripts from universities

owned by a foreign state-sponsored

intelligence organization.

• A MAVNI recruit who enlisted after

entering the U.S. on a student visa

professed support for 9/11 terrorists

and said he would voluntarily help

China in a crisis situation.

These cases clearly illustrate the dan-

gers associated with inadequate security

vetting for military enlistees.

As the chairman of the House Armed

Services Committee’s subcommittee on

military personnel, I understand the vital

role the MAVNI program plays in bringing

individuals with skills vital to the national

interest into the military. While the

MAVNI program has experienced prob-

lems, the military must have a capability to

enlist individuals with these important

skills.

In recognition of this need, this year’s

National Defense Authorization Act

contains a provision that would put in

place common-sense limitations on the

program, while allowing the secretary of

defense the discretion he needs to recruit

individuals with these critical skills.

The contributions immigrants make to

our nation’s defense cannot be overstated.

We must re-double our efforts to ensure

that background investigations are com-

pleted thoroughly and expeditiously so

that qualified applicants can continue their

long tradition of service.

Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Colo., is a Marine com-bat veteran and the only member of Congress to have served in both Iraq wars. He serves on the House Veterans Affairs Committee as well as the House Armed Ser-vices Committee, where he is the chairman of the military personnel

subcommittee.

Ever receive unsolicited phone calls from people asking for donations for

veterans support groups? Sometimes you’re not sure you’ve heard about them, but they have legitimate-sounding names like “Help the Vets,” Military Families Foundation,” “Foundation for Americans,” etc. Some even provide the URLs for their authentic looking Websites. These are among nine charities the Federal Trade Commission has sued for lying to donors. To educate people on charitable solicitation fraud, the FTC, working with the National Asso-ciation of State Charity Officials, has kicked off “Operation Donate with Honor” to identify legit-imate charities and crack down on the frauds. MOAA’s Mike Turner, vice president of devel-opment, offers a list of tips to consider before making a donation. You can find them at http://www.moaa.org/Content/Publications-and-Media/News-Articles/2018-News-Articles/6-Considerations-Before-Making-a-Donation.aspx. “Just because a charity has a legitimate-sounding name or uses pictures of people in uniform, does not necessarily mean it will sup-port the cause it advertises.” Turner says. “Doing a little research will ensure your dona-tion will go where you intended.”

May meeting focused on combat traumatic brain injury research

Our featured speaker May 30 was Dr. Amanda Glueck (pictured on p. 1), UK Assis-tant Professor of Rehabilitation Sci-ence, working with noted neuropsychologist Dr. Dan Y. Han, and Dr. Yang Jiang, Associ-ate Professor of Behavioral Science. Dr. Han is the Chief of University of Ken-tucky Neuropsychology Service’s clinical sec-tion, the director of the UK Multidisciplinary Concussion Program, and an Associate Pro-fessor of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Physi-cal Medicine & Rehabilitation at the Universi-ty of Kentucky College of Medicine. Dr. Glueck discussed her research in the area of brain injuries in the context of the cri-sis facing military health care. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, the con-flicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have resulted in increased numbers of veterans who have ex-perienced traumatic brain injuries (TBI).

SPECIAL GUEST LT. GOV JENEAN HAMPTON attended the May meeting. Lt. Gov. Hampton is a former USAF officer, Desert Storm vet and MOAA member. The meeting was held jointly with Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA). Pictured with Lt. Gov. Hampton (left to right) are Chapter President Col. (Ret.) Tom Peters; COL (Ret.) Chris Dolt, chapter ser-geant-at-arms and president of the Bluegrass-CPL Bill McMillan Chapter of the Associa-tion of the U.S. Army), and former chapter member Lloyd McMillan. Lloyd is the father of the chapter’s namesake, an Army medic who lost his life during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Lexington VAMC divisions renamed for local heroes

The Lexington VA Medical Center held a ceremony on Aug.9 to officially rename its two divisions in honor of distinguished Blue-grass area Divisions.

The Cooper Division was renamed to honor Troy Bowling, who survived the Iwo Jima battle and volunteered more than 78,000 hours to the VA before his recent death. The Leestown Division was renamed in honor of Franklin R. Sousley who was killed on Iwo Jima after helping raise the flag, an event immortalized by UPI pho-tographer Joe Rosenthal. Bowling was 17 when he joined the Marine Corps and deployed to be among the first wave during the battle of Iwo Jima. As he joined his fellow

Marines to take Mt. Suribachi, he was shot in the chest and leg. He later said, "As I lay bleeding on the black sands of Iwo Jima I looked to the heavens promising that if I survived I would serve mankind for the rest of my life." He survived and held up his end of that bargain. Over a 66-year period he volunteered more than 78,000 hours helping veterans, including helping many veter-ans and their widows file for VA benefits. He died in 2017 at age 90. Sousley joined the Marines at age 19 and was among a group of Marines and a sailor who raised the flag on the top of Mt. Suribachi that was immortalized by the iconic photo. Sousley was killed during the battle. Troy Bowling Franklin Sousley

Former Air Force secretary says another branch is ‘not your answer’

The U.S. Air Force's former top civilian said more resources should be dedicated to the space mission, but argued that

creating a new military branch known as the "Space Force" is not the answer. "My very short response is no. I do not believe that we should have a sepa-rate Space Force," Debo-rah Lee James, the 23rd Air Force secre-tary, said during a panel July 30 at the Brookings Institution, a think tank in Washington, D.C. "And I come down to the fundamen-tal issue of why I think this is so." She said the Air Force has faced criticism over its man-agement of the space mission, due to inadequate funding, a slow acquisition process and gaps in the personnel promo-tion and management systems. But, "Space Force is not

your answer," James said. During her tenure, in the final three years of the Obama administration, the service pumped roughly $5.5 billion into the overall space mission. That figure has ballooned over the last two budget cycles,

with the Air Force expected to spend roughly $40 billion over the next five years, officials have recently said. James, who serves on various boards of direc-tors, including those of Textron and the Atlantic Council, said she understands Presi-

dent Donald Trump's push to make the space mission a pri-ority. But she said she also fears the up to 30,000 airmen and civilians who work on Air Force space missions "will get totally lost in the bureaucracy" of a new military branch. “Instead, another combatant command solely focused on space would better serve the mission,” she said.

How big.? The John McCain National

Defense Authorization Act sets the

personnel strength of the military services

as follows for FY 2019, which begins next

month.

• Army: 487,500

• Marine Corps: 186,100

• Navy: 335,400

• Air Force: 329,100.

On the acquisition side, the act funds

77 F-35 joint strike fighters at $7.6

billion. It also funds F-35 spares, modifica-

tions and depot repair capability. The

budget also fully funds development of the

B-21 bomber.

The act authorizes $24.1 billion for

shipbuilding to fully fund 13 new battle

force ships and accelerate funding for

several future ships. This includes three

Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and

two Virginia-class submarines. There

is also $1.6 billion for three littoral

combat ships.

In addition, the act authorizes 24 F/A-

18 Super Hornets, 10 P-8A Poseidons,

two KC-130J Hercules, 25 AH-1Z Co-

bras, seven MV-22/CMV-22B Ospreys

and three MQ-4 Tritons.

FY 19 NDAA FULLY FUNDS USAF B-21 BOMBER DEVELOPMENT

The Defense Department will establish a sixth branch of the

armed forces, the U.S. Depart-ment of the Space Force, by 2020, Vice President Mike Pence announced last month. The vice presi-dent also an-nounced plans to establish a new combatant com-mand--U.S. Space Command--as well as a Space Opera-tions Force and a new joint organi-zation called the Space Develop-ment Agency. The new branch will be separate from, but equal to, the five other branches, he said. “To be clear: the Space Force will not be built from scratch, because the men and women who run and protect our nation's space programs today are already the best in the world,” the vice presi-dent said. Days later during a trip to Bra-zil Secretary of Defense Jim

Mattis said that a U.S. Space Force is necessary to protect American satellites from being targeted by attack weapons in the hands of Chi-

na and Russia. In a report by the Associated Press, Mattis said repeat-edly that the U.S. has no plans to put weapons in space, but he emphasized the vital and grow-ing role that satel-lites play not just in military operations

but in the world economy. Mattis said the U.S. cannot

ignore potential threats to satellites that are crucial to communication, navigation, weather information and other underpinnings of modern life. "We are not initiat-ing this.” Mattis said. “We are saying

we will be able to defend our satellites in space. At the same time, if someone is going to try to engage in space with military means, we will not stand idly by.’’

Notional department seal design

VP Pence, Mattis say why the U.S. needs a Space Force Department

A century after the First World War, a project to build a national World War I memorial has taken a significant step forward. The latest design concept for the memorial has been approved by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts. Plans call for the memorial to be built at Per-shing Park along Pennsylvania Avenue in Wash-ington by 2020. Designs for the memorial got a unanimous vote during a presentation by the com-mission’s project team. On July 13, the National Capital Planning Commis-sion (NCPC) concurred with the direction of the Cen-tennial Commission’s development of the WWI Memo-rial and voted unanimously to adopt the concept design, which makes three changes to Pershing Park.

First, this design enlarges the current fountain at the western edge of the existing pool, which would be restored in its same size. The east-facing side of that expanded fountain will become the emotional center of the new WWI Memorial: an approximately 65-foot-long bronze bas relief sculpture with larger-than-life figures that will tell the story of the U.S. involvement during the war through the experi-ence of a Soldier’s Journey. Second, this design will create a walkway over the restored pool for visitors and area resi-dents to access and experience the sculpture and fountain through touch, sight, and sound. Third, the current kiosk will be replaced with a flagpole that will include other commemorative elements about the Great War. We will continue to push forward in this effort.

Our veterans deserve our best effort, and we owe it to them,” said WWI Centennial Commission chair Terry Hamby in a news release. Architect David Rubin and members of the commission said variations on the design may be developed further with the oversight organizations.

The Trump administration is reportedly considering changes to how it enforces the Military Lending Act, a move that could make it easier for payday lenders to prey on servicemembers. Since its enactment, enforcement of the MLA has provided over $130 million in relief to military families. But now, the agency tasked with en-

forcing the MLA is looking to dial back its monitoring ef-forts. To make your opposition known to this threat to the financial solvency of many military families, go the MOAA Legislative Action Center (http://takeaction.moaa.org/app/write-a-letter?3&engagementId=488877) for guidelines.
