(Washington, D.C.) According to a release in Washington D.C. yesterday from Congressman Chris Deluzio’s office, after learning that the U.S. Senate snuck a provision into the annual defense bill to close America’s Navy Reserve Centers (NRCs), Deluzio, a Western Pennsylvania Congressman and Navy veteran successfully led the fight to remove the provision and keep NRCs open. This included the NRC at the 911th Airlift Wing in Moon Township and the NRCs in Harrisburg and Avoca, Pennsylvania. The Navy Reserve in the United States will stay supported, trained and ready to do its bidding both anywhere and anytime. NRCs ensure readiness for the Navy Reserve of the United States by performing administrative, training, and support to Navy Reserve Sailors.
