      Forming Company Veteran Associations

      The Department of Veteran Affairs estimates that approximately 1,869 American veterans die each day. The number of Americans who enlist each day in the Armed Forces comes nowhere near this number. As a result, membership in our oldest and best known veteran organizations is rapidly declining. The American veteran community is fighting a war of attrition.

      To better promote military service and respect for veterans all employed veterans are advised to establish a veterans association among your company employees, however small that number might be. Veterans should encourage their employers to support your association by soliciting federal tax relief and other company federal benefits for hiring veterans.

        (Important Note: Because the majority of military, war service and medal recipient wannabes make fraudulent boasts or claims to their fellow employees than to their neighbors, company veteran associations should require that all members submit a copy of their DD-214 to their company's personnel office or to the association membership committee.)
