Welcome to the National Association for Uniformed Services and thank you for visiting our web site.

For almost 40 years, NAUS has been the service-member's voice in government. Standing up for the hard-earned benefits of our nation's uniformed services members, veterans, retirees, and their families and survivors. Fighting for what you and others were promised, while supporting a strong national defense.

NAUS is unique. It's the only association whose membership is open to the ENTIRE uniformed services family - all branches, all components, all ranks. We focus on taking your issues to our elected officials, influencing legislation to ensure that promised benefits are delivered.

And we keep you informed of what's going on - in our acclaimed bimonthly magazine, Uniformed Services Journal, on our web site, and through chapter events and communications.

While we've had many successes over the years (like TRICARE For Life and preserving COLAs), Congress and Administration officials continue to face budgetary pressures that make them look at cutting benefits for veterans, retirees, and even those brave men and women fighting the Global War on Terror today.

NAUS is needed today more than ever.

In our recent member survey, one anonymous respondent called NAUS his "watchdog." I'm proud to be the President of the Association that you can indeed call the uniformed servicemember's "watchdog"; sounding the alarm when the benefits of those who serve - and have served - our country in uniform are threatened, and guarding their concerns with tenacity on Capitol Hill.

We all need a good "watchdog" - join NAUS today, and make your voice heard on Capitol Hill.

Sincerely,

William M. Matz, Jr.
Major General, US Army Retired
President, NAUS
