Dear Sgt. Shaft: The Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) and the United States Naval Institute (USNI) are partnering to sponsor a major defense forum about wounded warriors and their families on Sept. 17 at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill.

The daylong forum, "Measuring Success: Keeping Faith with Wounded Warriors and Their Families," will feature panel members and key guest speakers such as Sen. Carl Levin, Michigan Democrat and chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee; Veterans Affairs Secretary James B. Peake; Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England; and Adm. Michael G. Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Registration is free for active-duty, $20 for MOAA and USNI members and $35 for all others. A lunch is included with registration. Register by calling 1-800/233-8764 or online at www.defenseforumwashington.com.

I hope that your readers and you will join us for what promises to be an exceptional event.

Sincerely,

Norb Ryan Jr., USN-retired

President, Military Officers Association of America (MOAA)

Dear Admiral:

I am looking forward to joining you and many of my readers at this important symposium. The future needs of our wounded warriors and their families must be the highest priority of our country. Merely saying thanks for your service is not enough.

Congratulations to the Fleet Reserve Association (FRA), which is sponsoring an online survey to identify the challenges associated with finding and maintaining employment for military spouses. The survey is available on the Association's OnWatch newsletter page: www.fra.org/onwatch.
