Description
Fort Stewart/Hunter Army Airfield, Georgia will be conducting its annual Retiree Appreciation Day (RAD) on Saturday, February 24, 2018, beginning at 9:00 A.M. (EST) at The Venue on the University of Central Florida campus (located behind the CFE Arena). All US Army retired Soldiers and families are invited to attend this great event which will provide the latest information on the current state of the Army, benefits and entitlements, and the future outlook for defense programs supporting retirees and pay. All Retired Airmen, Sailors and Marines and their families are also welcome.
At this year’s RAD, there will be an update from the Office of the Army Surgeon General, a talk on the Florida VA Medical Centers, an address from the Department of Army Retirement Services, a discussion on Military and Veteran Legislative Benefits from the Military Officers Association of America, and a presentation on Vietnam War Commemoration Activities. Following these reports, there will be a formal ceremony to recognize all Vietnam era veterans.
We will also have ID card-making capabilities and the event will culminate with an “Information Fair” with designated representatives from Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC), Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA), Army Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES), TRICARE, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Florida Department of Veterans Affairs (FDVA), Military Officers Association of America (MOAA), The Retired Enlisted Association (TREA), TRICARE, Delta Dental, and Fort Stewart Health Service (FSHS).
Fort Stewart has designed the 2018 RAD with you, the retiree, in mind. This RAD will be your best source for the latest information on Army benefits and entitlements for not only you but also your family.
Remember, “We” want you there.
