Our Mission:  To foster camaraderie among United States Veterans, the military, and our communities. To advocate on behalf of all Veterans.

​

Our Vision:  Ensure that Veterans are respected for their service, always receive their earned entitlements, and are recognized for their sacrifice they and their loved ones have made on behalf of this great country.

​

We trace our roots back to 1899 when veterans of the Spanish-American War (1891) and the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902) founded local organizations to secure rights and benefits for their service. Many arrived home wounded or sick.
