President's Message
Douglas A. Ehrhardt, CAPT, MSC, USN (Ret.)
I'm pleased that you have found the official web site of the New River Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA). We are 35 men and women representing the armed forces along the beautiful New River basin in and around Ashe County in northwestern North Carolina.
- We are a 501(c) (19) organization incorporated as a non profit corporation under the laws of North Carolina and recognized by the IRS as tax exempt. While we do not support any political candidate or party, we are proud of our relations with the elected officials from our community, locally, statewide, and nationally. All of them support our men and women in the service and have gone out of their way to participate with us in our efforts on behalf of our military brethren.
- Our members include active duty, reserve, retired, and former officers who range from warrant to flag officer, and every rank in between.
- Our members are not only active in MOAA, but are leaders of local community businesses, physicians, educators and citizens who voluntarily serve in a wide range of local charitable or service organizations.
- Aside from the camaraderie that we share at meetings, our members continue the traditions of leadership that they developed in their military careers.
- We participate in our North Carolina MOAA Council of Chapters, and work in harmony with other local veterans’ organizations.
- We have prepared an information packet for military veterans to locate local and regional resources and contacts that they may utilize; we are working to obtain discounts for active duty military families to local activities.
- Our chapter is developing ways to support the Junior ROTC unit at Ashe County High School.
- If you are a present or former officer, we are friends who have shared many of your experiences. As an active, retired or former officer of one of the seven uniformed services, you are most welcome to visit, and join the New River Chapter of MOAA.
