These organizations are primarily made up of former members of the US Military and are dedicated to advancing the various causes of Veterans and their families plus contributing to meeting needs of the communities in which they live and work.  Though they have served their country with honor, dignity, and sacrifice, many in conditions of grave danger, while in the employ of the United States, they continue to dedicate their lives and actions to our country through meaningful service as civilians.
