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
MAY SOCIAL EVENT – Join us on 30 May at Dayton’s Carillon Park to watch the Clodbuster Base Ball Club play the Tippecanoe Canal Jumpers. The 1 PM game is part of the Park’s Heritage Festival. The Clodbuster Base Ball Club will play 1860s base ball (spelled using two words until the 1880s). In their words they are “Enjoying the game the ‘way it was meant to be played.’ The Clodbusters Club members will be dressed in period uniforms and will adhere to 1860s rules. The cost of entering the park is $12/adult, $10/senior, $8/child or vets with a retired military ID. As we go to press there still is no decision if the Festival will be held this year. If the Festival is canceled, the Base Ball game will be held on the lawn in front of the Park. The game will start at noon. There is no cost to watch the game from your lawn chair, while sitting in the shade of the trees that line the road leading to parking lot. If you chose that spot would put you would be along the first base line. You can also sit in the shade on the hill side behind home plate or behind the club’s bench.
