National Guardsmen and Reservists Parity Act Take Action!

Let's Secure Cosponsors for H.R. 208

Reserve Component Credit for Retirement Since 9/11   < SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Courier New">  H.R. 208, Introduced by Mr. Wilson of South Carolina Title: National Guardsmen and Reservists Parity for Patriots Act.  The legislation would amend title 10, United States Code, to ensure that members of the reserve components of the Armed Forces who have served on active duty or performed active service since September 11, 2001, in support of a contingency operation or in other emergency situations receive credit for such service in determining eligibility for early receipt of non-regular service retired pay, and for other purposes.  Current Status:  Referred to the Subcommittee on Military Personnel.   CONGRESS KNOWS: Since September 11, 2001 (9/11) members of the Reserve Components have been sent in harm’s way and fought alongside members of the regular components of the Armed Forces.  Between 9/11 and January 28, 2008 more than 600,000 members of the Reserve Components were mobilized for military operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other contingency operations.  More than 142,000 members of reserve components were mobilized more than once during that period.        Public Law 110-181 offered an earlier retirement for members of the Reserve Components who are mobilized in support of contingency operations after January 28, 2008 which fails to recognize the service and sacrifice made by those who served between 9/11 and January 28, 2009.   COSPONSORS are needed.  Below are Representatives already signed on supporting H.R. 208.  If your Representative is listed, use our action email system to send a note of appreciation.   IF YOUR REPRESENTATIVE IS NOT LISTED, please send an email requesting that they become a cosponsor of H.R. 208.  This email should only go to your One (1) Elected Representative.  DO NOT send copies to your Senators, The President or Vice President.  This legislation is being worked in the House of Representatives.   Also, please share this Action Alert with your chapters, co-workers, family and friends and ask them to join you and the NCOA is support of all members of the Reserve Components who were deployed between 9/11 and January 28, 2008.  Let’s us together support the effort to correct this inequity in retirement eligibility of these reserve component members.       Rep Adler, John H.

Sir, What about the rest of those of us who served in the reserves long enough to retire.  We all signed the same contracts.  If only selected retired reservist are to get reduced age requirements for retired pay, Then you should apply that to the active duty retires.  There are many of them who have never been in combat.  Does retirement age depend on combat duty?

[webster brown]

If HR 208 is just for those that served since 9/11, then i'm not for that. We have been talking about since before 9/11, those of us who have served in prior wars and conflicts. Those of us who have given up jobs and lost jobs well before 9/11. So if this is what 208 is then it needs to include all guardsmen/women, and reservists that served faithfully.
