The Military Officers Association of America, formerly TROA, has filed an amicus (friend of the court) brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of a lawsuit by a group of veterans who have sued the U.S. Government over promised health care. The suit, filed by retired Air Force Col. Bud Day, a Medal of Honor recipient and former prisoner of war, hopes to force the government to provide free lifetime medical care to retirees who entered service before mid-1956 and served at least 20 years, and their spouses. He is appealing a federal appeals court ruling that recruiters' promises of lifetime medical care made to that group were not legally binding on the government. MOAA is deeply disappointed with the federal court's decision, and filed the amicus brief in support of the Class Act Group's appeal to the Supreme Court, according to a spokesperson.
