National Military Family Association In addition to serving at the installation and national level, the National Military Family Association is a direct resource for you and your families. For example, in the past year we have secured the following for all military families:

*Additional funding for families seeking psychological care to better cope with wartime stress
*State action allowing students easier transfers between states by removing redundant or missed entrance/exit exams, streamlining graduation requirements, and aiding transfer of records
*Full replacement value on families’ belongings damaged during a move
*Training schools located off-installation about the lifestyle of military children. Help Them Call Home Help Them Call Home is dedicated to helping our deployed service men and women call home by sending them International calling cards.
