Commander’s Welcome

The Commander’s Welcome

Cleve Geer

For more than 60 years, we in AMVETS have taken to heart the credo of ser­vice set forth by our organization’s found­ing fathers. In so doing, we endeavor to pro­vide our fel­low vet­er­ans with the type of sup­port they truly deserve. This out­reach effort takes many forms, from the pro­fes­sional advice our ser­vice offi­cers offer on earned vet­er­ans ben­e­fits to our leg­isla­tive efforts on Capi­tol Hill to the work done by our hos­pi­tal vol­un­teers. Other AMVETS mem­bers involve them­selves in a range of ini­tia­tives aimed at con­tribut­ing to the qual­ity of life in their local communities.

These two areas—veterans ser­vice and com­mu­nity service—drive the com­mit­ment we have to make a dif­fer­ence in the lives of oth­ers. The pages of this web­site pro­vide more detailed infor­ma­tion on each area, as well as a wealth of infor­ma­tion for vet­er­ans, their fam­i­lies and other inter­ested cit­i­zens. Please take a few min­utes to review what makes AMVETS the dis­tinc­tive orga­ni­za­tion it is. Our aim of build­ing for a bet­ter Amer­ica is an under­tak­ing to which all can con­tribute. I invite you to join us.
