Armed Forces Committee

The Republican Party has always championed a strong foreign policy, supporting countries that promote freedom and equality, working to advance these causes in developing nations and in those lacking a tradition of democracy and freedom.

America’s troops are in the forefront of protecting our nation - its freedom and its security - and deserve the support of every citizen of America.  Everyday they risk their lives to secure our nation and its citizens from attacks by those who wish us harm.  We owe them our gratitude and our support.

The Armed Forces Committee is in contact with all Federation clubs to encourage them to support a project benefiting veterans and to champion their efforts to support our troops fighting for freedom around the world.

The Committee Chair keeps a list of possible projects benefiting our troops and shares this list with clubs at Board and Conference Meetings.

The Chairman of the Armed Forces Committee for 2011-2013 is Patty Talambas from the Rapides Parish Republican Women and  the Vice Chairman is Carolyn Fondren from the Franklin Republican Women.
