Since 1922, ROA has championed the cause of Reservists at home and on the battlefield.

The ROA Reserve Component Bill of Rights calls for retirement benefits that reflect a full career of service, affordable healthcare in retirement, proper recognition of veteran status, and the long-term financial security every Reservist has earned.

You dedicated your life to serving our nation, and you deserve security when your service ends. ROA is fighting for you every step of the way to help make sure this happens.

Our own SGM Steve Minyard (USA, Ret.) shared his military story recently as part of the Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress.

The Veterans History Project preserves and makes accessible the firsthand stories of U.S. military veterans so that future generations can hear directly from veterans and better understand what they saw, did, and felt during their service.

Telling your story helps others understand our military, why we serve, and why our service is so important to our country, so we were excited to get a chance to participate in this project and share our incredible military experiences.

What does the future look like for ROA?

ROA's President, MG Peggy Chamberlain Wilmoth, USA (Ret.), believes that while ROA’s mission of supporting Reserve Component readiness and advocacy remains unchanged, the organization must adapt its membership model, structure, and digital engagement strategies to remain relevant and effective as America enters its 250th year. 👇👇👇
