On behalf of the 105,000 members of the Association of the United States Army, I write to express our support for your legislation, the 21st Century Servicemembers Protection Act, H.R. 3298.
The Association of the United States Army strongly believes that military members called to defend our great nation should not be penalized by steep termination fees in contracts involving cellular phone service, car insurance, utilities, cable television, or internet access. Also, we appreciate your recognition of the fact that serious penalties are warranted for unscrupulous lenders who knowingly fail to reduce interest rates for deploying servicemembers.

The Association of the United States Army applauds and supports your efforts to provide greater protections for military members and their families. We look forward to working with you to secure enactment of this legislation.
