  • Newman's Own® Awards Announce
    PRESS RELEASE Contact: Michelle Baldanza, Fisher House Foundation [email protected] Contact: Brandon Rook, Newman’s Own Foundation, [email protected] Contact: Christine Aquino, Military Times [email protected] Newman’s Own® Awards Announce 2020 Grant Winners *** Funds Continue to Support Military Non-Profits Offering Quality Veteran Care ROCKVILLE, Md (Nov. 11, 2020) – Fisher House Foundation, Military Times, and Newman’s Own have awarded grants to six non-profit organizations supporting military servicemembers and their families. Newman’s Own® Awards provide funding toward innovative programs created to improve the quality of life for veterans. Newman’s Own® Awards began in 1999 and have now awarded more than $2.1 million across 185 non- profit programs. The grant’s name honors the legacy of Paul Newman, founder of Newman’s Own, who sought to help make a difference in the lives of others. Paul, a Navy veteran, served in the Pacific during World War II. Later in life, he came up with his own line of salad dressings, pasta sauces, pizzas, salsas and much more and decided that all the profits from Newman’s Own products would go to charities. “Fisher House Foundation congratulates the 2020 Newman’s Own Awards grant recipients, all of which offer important programs to support our military and veteran communities,” said Chairman and CEO of Fisher House Foundation Ken Fisher. “Thank you to our partners at Newman’s Own and Military Times, along with our distinguished judges, for their dedication to helping non-profits succeed, especially in such trying times.” “Military Times is honored to provide our platform to find and recognize organizations whose mission is to help improve the lives of veterans and their families,” said Andrew Tilghman, Military Times executive editor.

This year, a total of 164 organizations submitted responses to the Best for Vets: Employers survey that ran from March to July.

  • Renewed Great Power Competition: Implications for Defense—Issues for Congress
    Renewed Great Power Competition: Implications for Defense—Issues for Congress Updated May 1, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R43838 Renewed Great Power Competition: Implications for Defense—Issues for Congress Summary Many observers have concluded that the post-Cold War era of international relations—which began in the early 1990s and is sometimes referred to as the unipolar moment (with the United States as the unipolar power)—began to fade in 2006-2008, and that by 2014, the international environment had shifted to a fundamentally different situation of renewed great power competition with China and Russia and challenges by these two countries and others to elements of the U.S.-led international order that has operated since World War II. The shift to renewed great power competition was acknowledged alongside other considerations in the Obama Administration’s June 2015 National Military Strategy, and was placed at the center of the Trump Administration’s December 2017 National Security Strategy (NSS) and January 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS). The December 2017 NSS and January 2018 NDS formally reoriented U.S. national security strategy and U.S. defense strategy toward an explicit primary focus on great power competition with China and Russia. Department of Defense (DOD) officials have subsequently identified countering China’s military capabilities as DOD’s top priority. The shift to renewed great power competition has profoundly changed the conversation about U.S. defense issues. Counterterrorist operations and U.S. military operations in the Middle East, which moved to the center of discussions of U.S. defense issues following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, continue to be conducted, but are now a less dominant element in the conversation, and discussions of U.S.

    Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services Articles of Interest 30 August 2019 RECRUITMENT & RETENTION 1. Congress must address gender gap in nominations to military service academies (11 Aug) The Hill, By Liam Brennan As an unprecedented number of women run for president, issues of gender equity and women’s rights continue to headline the 2020 election. Many candidates have trumpeted their support for policies like equal pay for women, access to reproductive health care, and, amid reports of a troubling rise in sexual assault in the military, polices to combat military sexual trauma. But despite all the bold rhetoric on gender equality, some presidential hopefuls, and many more members of Congress, have failed to measure up in one of the few areas in which each member has direct control: nominations to our nation’s military academies. 2.
