Enjoy Your Summer, Don't Forget Your Veterans

Summer is in full swing with vacations, parties, BBQ's, and trips to the beach!

Unfortunately for millions of veterans many of these summer icons are but a dream from a long time ago.

As is often the case giving drops off during the summer months yet the situations faced by our veterans and their families remain and are often magnified during this carefree season for the rest of us.

We appeal to you to make your tax deductible donation today and to pass this critical message to the people in your address book encouraging them to give as well.

American Veterans Aid Fund (AVAF), a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization, was established as part of the American Veterans Aid family of companies to assist veterans and their families in obtaining and maintaining the respect, dignity, and honor earned through their service

and sacrifice.

AVAF is All Volunteer; NON-POLITICAL and accepts NO GOVERNMENT FUNDING!

We rely solely on the generosity and caring of individuals and businesses to serve the needs of Our Heroes!
