AFA in Action
A Message from the President
August 31, 2026
Team,
As Congress finalizes its defense budget and authorization bills for fiscal 2027, AFA has sent several letters to Capitol Hill leadership to ensure the concerns of our 350,000 members are heard.
One urges full funding for Space Force and Air Force modernization along with quality-of-life programs that support service members and their families; another lays out what partial funding would cost the Golden Dome missile defense program.
None of this work happens without you. Thank you for being a member of the Air & Space Forces Association. If you want to add your voice directly, visit AFA’s Letters to the Hill page, where you can look up your representatives and send them a personalized letter on the airpower and spacepower issues that matter most.
Stay vocal. Stay informed.
Lt. Gen. Burt Field, USAF (Ret.)
President & CEO
