Veterans Organizations And Their Qualities

By Michael Watson


Groups for certain members of fighting units or servicemen who served in certain times during a war fought by Americans are varied. These can have many kinds of affiliations, philosophies, needs and objectives. The standard organizations have the most members, and these can be acknowledged by many because of they have no attached objectives and rules.

The standard vet outfits are those like the Army and Navy Union of the United States of America. Vietnam veterans organizations are numerous, because there are still many survivors of the war who are alive. And there a lot more because of the many political personal, social and political factors that have grown out of the conflict.

Those orgs that can be considered physically healthy are those reservists for Army, Navy and the like. There may be reserve groups for air squadrons, divisions or naval units these people used to be members of. It means that people here are of fighting age and fitness, but there may be less of these for Vietnam due to its unpopularity.

This unpopularity gave impetus to the making of more organizations for Vietnam vets, groups that might even have an underground agenda. They can sometimes be so marginalized because they are after a form of justice that can only be served by violence. Many if not all of these are not mentioned or even listed in official or recognized lists.

State, local or federal agencies will always have groups of vets that they acknowledge or recognize, because they have defended American honor and freedom. The need is to have ties maintained and relationships occasionally renewed because America knows how to honor all that has served her. However, a lot of requirements may apply when it comes to government giving money or any kind of aid to a group.

There are orgs for vets who are members of a race or ethnic group, and these may be fighting a different kind of war for equal opportunity and treatment. Outfits like these can include those who are affiliated to religious denominations of brotherhoods. Those people who served during Vietnam may find these comforting enough after the political battles done by protest organizations.

Also, it is not the only war that America fought, and loads of established associations were founded before it happened. And many have formed into professional sodalities like war correspondents, bombardiers, artillerymen, armor, and other specialized classifications that have seen their share of fighting. Most of these have serious and exemplary objectives.

The qualities of these organizations are often those that enable or help other veterans. So they will have support services or programs for the disabled, for those who have died and left families, and those who are finding it hard to reintegrate into society. PTSD, a psychological condition brought on by war trauma was a thing first discovered in Vietnam combat vets.

A good organization is Vietnam Veterans of America, Inc. Which is probably the largest of groups formed because of the war. So members have often come from the Vietnamese battlefield, but it will not be confined to helping out the vets in that war alone. In fact, most if not all groups will help out any veteran, whatever war he or she may have come from.
