American
Legion
The
American Legion was chartered and incorporated by
Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization
devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s
largest veterans service organization, committed to
mentoring and sponsorship of youth programs in our
communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting
a strong national security, and continued devotion to
our fellow service members and veterans. |

Veterans
of Foreign Wars
The
Veterans of Foreign Wars has a rich tradition in
enhancing the lives of millions through its community
service programs and special projects. From providing
free phone cards to our nation's active-duty military
personnel to raising money for the World War II
memorial, the VFW is there, "honoring the dead
by helping the living." |

Military
Officers Association of America
MOAA
is the nation's largest and most influential association
of military officers. It is an independent, nonprofit,
politically nonpartisan organization. MOAA was
founded in Los Angeles, Calif., on Feb. 23, 1929. The
first leaders of the association hoped that by joining
together they could provide assistance and advice to
other military officers. This concern for others
fostered natural fraternal relations among members from
all branches of the uniformed services. |

Flight Network

Flight Network is a non-profit organization created
solely to honor America's veterans for all their
sacrifices. We transport our heroes to Washington, D.C.
to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is
given to the senior veterans – World War II survivors,
along with those other veterans who may be terminally
ill. |
