Amvets National Service Foundation

Service to veterans: the purpose of this program is to inform veterans and their dependents of potential benefits. Amvets national service officers (nso), who are funded by the foundation, act as educators, counselors and advocates assuring that veterans and their dependents receive all the benefits to which they are entitled under the current law. To support these functions, amvets nsos worked during the year at veterans administration (va) regional offices, military bases and the board of appeals in washington, d.c. Who provided services to the active-duty military, veterans, members of the reserves and surviving family members without any charge whatsoever. Additionally, amvets department service officers and accredited state and county government service officers provide services to veterans at various veterans administration medical centers and community based out-patient clinics.

Americanism: the americanism program operates to heal the wounds of war and promote the unity of patriotism. These flags were distributed without charge. We also offer the schools and youth organizations resources to teach children from kindergarten through 12th grade about their american heritage, civics and citizenship.

Carillon program: the carillon program operates to honor all those devoted men and women who served with honor and are now deceased. The bells are a "living" memorial and serve to remind us of our legacy and of our debt to those who fought to preserve freedom throughout the world. These chimes are heard throughout many national cemeteries in the country.
