Why should a Veterans organization belong to the council?
Each organization should have a representative actively involved in the Council's meetings and activities in an attempt to provide unity, leadership, and assist with the coordination of serving as a liaison to county government.
Additionally, each organization should work to promote patriotic programs throughout the year, with special emphasis on Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
