Making a Difference in Ohio and the Nation
The Military Officers Association is an independent politically non-partisan organization operated to benefit members of the uniformed services, their families and survivors. With over 380,000 members nationally it has been a strong voice in influencing legislation that resulted in TRICARE for Life, Combat related Special Compensation, Elimination of SBP 'Widows Tax', Concurrent Receipt, Guard/Reserve TRICARE and improved funding for school districts that serve military children just to name a few.
In Ohio, the Dayton Area Chapter joined with the five other chapters in the State to influence legislation to exempt military retirement pay from State Income Tax and we are working to improve license portability for both the service member and their spouse. However it is not always about legislation.

Informative Social Events
CLODBUSTERS BASE BALL A firm July DAC activity is to go to Carillon Park to see an old fashion base ball game at noon on Sunday 19 July to watch Dayton’s own Clodbuster Team play the Cincinnati Red Stockings. Since the governor opened the park, we only need to wear our masks and maintain social distance. (I was one of the few that did so on my last visit). As I wrote in my President’s message, I verified things are almost back to normal. According to Alex Heckman, the Carillon Park Director, the Clodbuster base ball game will be held on the level lawn just down the hill and to the left of the Carillon as you face it from the park entrance building. You can park close by. I plan to go and sit in my lawn chair in the shade under the trees on the edge of the Carillon parking lot near the base ball game diamond. Lunch is available at the Culp restaurant (it closes at 3PM). Outside seating is available. After the game you can drop in for a cold beer at the Brewery. If the game goes long enough, I may hear another Carillon concert at 3 PM. You can hear the bells from the outside tables of the Brewery. BTW, you can look up the menus for both the Culp and the Brewery on the Carillon Park website. There is no sign up for this event but if you want more information just call me: Mike Ondrasek (937) 429 9297. |
