About Us
Airmen Memorial Museum Eligibility
AFSA is the
Air Force enlisted organization dedicated to the people behind the stripes. The
men and women behind the high tech machinery, the military protocol, the daring
maneuvers ... the people who have invested their lives in the cause of freedom
in America.
Each year Congress makes hundreds of decisions on issues that directly affect
the lives of enlisted people and their families. Important issues such as
medical care, job security, salaries, commissary privileges and other benefits.
There was a time when the voice of the enlisted Airman was nowhere to be heard
... until the Spring of l96l, when a handful of men came together to form the
Air Force Sergeants Association. AFSA is an international organization dedicated
to speaking out on behalf of enlisted Air Force personnel and today, with nearly
135,000 AFSA members, the voice of the enlisted rings strong on Capitol Hill.
AFSA's membership is comprised of Air Force enlistees, both active and retired,
of all grades, including Air National Guard and AF Reserve, and offers an
Auxiliary program for family members of Air Force personnel. The Association is
headquartered in the Airmen Memorial Building just minutes from the U.S. Capitol
Building in Washington, D.C., and only one mile from Andrews AFB, MD.
