A Tremendous Loss.....

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of LAFRA Regional President Northwest Renee Shaw. She passed away at our Branch Home on Monday, 15 May. Renee was an integral part of us on all levels; a great Regional President and a Past Unit President who inspired others to greatness, a VERY active member of the Land Acquisition Committee, and Corporate Bookkeeper. She was a great friend whose laughter and exuberance will be sorely missed.

Renee’s viewing will be 9 am to 11 am, with the service at 11 am at the Mililani Mortuary. The Burial will be at 1 pm at the Kaneohe Veterans’ Cemetery. All on 15 June. A Celebration of Life will be held on 17 June at the Fleet Reserve Association, Branch 46. 

What We Do

After more than 90 years, the FRA remains dedicated to its primary mission of serving the interests of Sea Service personnel. In addition to its legislative advocacy efforts, FRA assists its members with career problems by maintaining close liaison with the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, Homeland Security, and other government agencies. FRA continues to educate members of Congress, many of whom have little or no military experience, on the challenges facing career personnel. FRA presents a strong, unified voice to ensure that enlisted issues are heard by Congress and urges support for legislation to increase pay and benefits.
