We love feedback from our veterans and their loved ones. If you have an idea for our web site or if you are interested in volunteering for AVI in some capacity, please let us know by contacting: info@americanveteransinstitute.org.

The American Veterans Institute was founded by a disabled Vietnam Veteran who is the son of a disabled World War II Veteran. The organization's objective is to honor and serve our veterans as they honored and served our nation. Please help us celebrate yesterday's GIs...even as we send the message to TODAY'S troops that they will never be abandoned by the country they serve. For more information on AVI programming and events, go to our main website: American Veterans Institute, VetAssist or National Operation Welcome Home.

Thank you -- and remember to thank a veteran!
