LET’S BUILD SOMETHING TOGETHER
“Veterans in Unity with Community”
Here at NABVETS we don’t like to toot our own horn or talk too loud about the things we’ve worked to do to improve the lives of Veterans, especially Black Veterans. Truth is, though, we are literally the sum of our parts: we are individual Veterans who have come together under one mission – to improve the lives of other Veterans; we are the families of Veterans who donate their time and, in some cases, money to improve the lives of Veterans; we are communities who need Veterans to help provide hope to families, the youth and the weak. At the end of the day, all we hope to give is a world that is just a little bit better off than the one we have. Thank you!
