ALA Members support active-duty military families by working with an installation Family Readiness Group (FRG). For more information contact the Family Readiness Center at your nearby military installation.

Another aspect of the ALA National Security Program is to raise awareness of POW/MIAs and the work being performed by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) in the search for missing personnel. LEST WE FORGET UNITL THEY ALL COME HOME! ALA National Security Program Awards
