S 2596, or Space Available, would include veterans with service-related, permanent disabilities in the program that allows retired military personnel to fly on military aircraft when space is available.

fellow Federationists! <br><br>This coming Tuesday, May 10, the US Senate is
scheduled to consider the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). It is
important that we contact Senators Blumenthal and Murphy to urge them to
include Space Available, S 2596, in this act. The House has done so in
their version of the NDAA, so that's not a concern at this point. Contact info
for our senators is below. <br><br>Richard Blumenthal<br>Phone, Washington
