Military Retiree Grass Roots Group
Billboard Project - Phase I
Jack Hollinsworth - Project ManagerThis is a web page that was designed to assist the military retiree grass roots movement in their effort to regain the medical care that was promised before their retirement. Some of the medical care that was promised was restored when the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 was signed into law on 30 Oct 2000. This web page will remain on the Internet as a reminder of THE WAY IT WAS. The American people and the United States Congress must never forget that which is owed to its military retirees, military veterans, active duty military, and their eligible dependents.
