Inspire Military Service
Northeast Texas is directly supporting efforts to inspire military service, specifically, for our Air & Space Forces. This national need is a major initiative for AFA and this chapter.
Only 23% of youth 17-24 are eligible for military service and less than 10% feel compelled to join.
We need your help to inspire military service, to tell your story, and to help our recruiters.
Who We are
The Northeast Texas, Chapter 416
The Northeast Texas, Chapter 416 of the Air & Space Forces Association (AFA) is a non‐profit, independent, professional military and aerospace education association that promotes public understanding of aerospace power and the pivotal role it plays in the security of the nation. Led by volunteers, we educate the public about national defense, how to support the members of our Air & Space Forces and their families and promote Aerospace Education designed to better our youth, communities, and nation. Our chapter area represents Northeast Texas from Rockwall, East to Arkansas, North to Oklahoma and south to the Athens area.
