The Council's last meeting was held on Saturday, March 21, 2009 at Hanscom AFB in Bedford, MA. For complete details go to COMO Meetings.
The Council's 25th year of service to the Massachusetts uniformed services community began on Saturday, September 20th, 2008. As in past years, 2008/2009 also has several major challenges for service members and their families to deal with. Increased DoD assaults on military compensation and benefits, potential base closures, inadequate active duty end-strength, increased reliance on Guard/Reserve units, decreasing quality of life for military members and their families, sub-standard care of wounded warriors, and unfair survivor benefits are all major issues that must be addressed by the 111th Congress and the new administration.
Representatives from all of the various military organizations throughout the state are encouraged to attend MCOMO meetings which are held on the third Saturday of most months at Hanscom AFB. This year's schedule includes meetings/events on the following dates:
September 20, 2008 March 21, 2009 September 19, 2009
Retiree Activities Day (Hanscom AFB) - April 25, 2009
Many people who would like to do more to support our troops but are not sure how or have no idea which support programs are legitimate and which ones are not.
There are, however, several excellent private-public partnerships that specialize in supporting America's military and their families in their time of need. To learn more about these programs, go to Support Our Troops.
