REMEMBERING THE HONORABLE SENATOR

DANIEL K. INOUYE
(1924 - 2012)

"All USFSPA casualties are deeply saddened by the news of Senator Inouye's passing: To our knowledge he was the last sitting US Senator to oppose the Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act, in the 97th Congress. No other member of Congress has represented our interests, regarding this contentious issue, so well for so long. We will mark this solemn occasion by calling for a moment of silence, on December 17th and on Memorial Day, in his honor."

The Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act (USFSPA) was implemented ostensibly to protect deserving uniformed service member former spouses. Ironically, it created a class of service member victims larger than those it was designed to assist.

The American Retirees Association (ARA) was founded in 1984 specifically to address the numerous inequities found in Title 10 USC 1408 et seq (USFSPA). ARA is a 501(c)(19) Veterans Support Organization (VSO), chartered in California, as Tax Exempt Corporation 1551226, with Federal Tax Exemption ID 33-024676. Our field membership is comprised of all male and female members of the Uniformed Services, residing across the United States and around the world.
