AFSA was founded in 1961 by four Air Force enlisted people to represent
the professional and quality-of-life concerns of all Air Force and reserve
component enlisted members. This includes active duty, and retired and their
families on Capitol Hill and in the pentagon. Through its many programs, worldwide
chapters, Auxiliary and affiliates, AFSA also reaches out to bases and communities
to help those in need and to raise awareness of the sacrifices and concerns of those
who have worn or are wearing stripes.
