The Tucson Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) held its Oct. 28 monthly membership meeting at Vivace Restaurant. Also attending were members of the SaddleBrooke-based Catalina Mountains Satellite Chapter (CMSC).
LTC John A. Devine Scholarship Fund award certificates were presented to two ROTC students (one Air Force and one Navy) attending the University of Arizona. The cadet and midshipman shared their career aspirations, and their detachment commanders/instructors provided updates on their respective programs at the U of A.
Each recipient was selected by their commanders/instructors based on leadership; academic record; contributions to the ROTC program, the university, and community engagement; and commitment to military service. Through the scholarships, MOAA honors the memory of LTC John A. Devine, U.S. Army, Retired.
The Military Officers Association of America is a non-profit veterans association dedicated to maintaining a strong national defense and preserving the earned entitlements of members of the uniformed services and their families and survivors.
The Catalina Mountains Satellite Chapter is part of the Tucson MOAA and encompasses Northwest Tucson, including Catalina, Oracle, parts of Oro Valley and Marana, SaddleBrooke, SaddleBrooke Ranch, and Sun City.
