The National Military Family Association, Inc. (NMFA) - "The Voice for Military Families" is dedicated to serving the families and survivors of the seven uniformed services through education, information, and advocacy. NMFA has represented the interests and concerns of uniformed services families and has educated policymakers since it was organized in 1969 as the Military Wives Association. The grassroots efforts of this small group of wives and widows, seeking financial security for survivors of uniformed services' personnel and retirees, resulted in the creation of the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP). In 1984, the name of the Organization was changed to reflect the broad scope of its involvement in family issues. NMFA has been, and continues to be, in the vanguard of advocacy for quality-of-life issues affecting uniformed services members and their families. 2, record 6, English, - National%20Military%20Family%20Association

Old wives’ summer 1, record 10, English, Old%20wives%26rsquo%3B%20summer
correct, Europe

Record number: 10, Textual support number: 1 DEF

A period of calm, clear weather, with cold nights and misty mornings but fine warm days, which sets in over central Europe toward the end of September; comparable to Indian summer. 2, record 10, English, - Old%20wives%26rsquo%3B%20summer

Record number: 10, Textual support number: 1 CONT

It has been explained as a transition between the summer and winter pressure types. In summer, central Europe is dominated by the Azores high, from which a wedge of high pressure extends to southwestern Germany. In winter, the dominant feature is the Siberian high, from which a ridge extends across Switzerland. Between these two stages there is often a period, on the average occurring between 18 and 22 September, during which an independent anticyclone forms over Germany. As this gradually drifts away eastward, the Old Wives' summer tends to be delayed until October in the western part of the former Soviet Union. The term itself probably stems from the widespread existence of old wives' tales concerning this striking feature of autumn weather. 2, record 10, English, - Old%20wives%26rsquo%3B%20summer
