     The Circle of Friends for American Veterans is a 501-c(3) designated non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness about veterans issues, particularly homeless veterans, by influencing public opinion to shape public policy.

     Since 1993, The Circle of Friends for American Veterans, and its allied publication, the VETERANS' VISION, have provided and continues to provide advocacy for those who deserve it the most and have it the least by conducting nationwide rallies, holding receptions with policymakers and providing direct financial support to transitional facilities that assist homeless veterans.

   Tremendous thanks to all who attended and supported our two very successful events at the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. As you can imagine we generated an enormous amount of media coverage and awareness to the issues facing homeless veterans and how action needs to be taken now. The events included notable speakers and celebrities including:

          Academy Award Winner Jon Voight
          Susan Turnbull, Co-Chair of the DNC
          Cong. Carol Shea-Porter (NH-1st)
          Cong. Tom Davis (VA-11th)
          Cong. John M. Spratt, Jr. (SC-5th)
          Cong. Michael J. Rogers (R-8th)
          Cong. Susan Davis (CA-3rd)

We acknowledged Members of Congress who support our Veterans Bill of Rights and pressed for more support for American Veterans. While these two events produced fantastic results and press concerning the issues facing American Veterans there is still an incredible amount of work yet to be done. We encourage you to make your voice known to your local Representatives and Congressmen as well as continue to aid local, state and national organizations with financial contributions. Be sure to visit us frequently as we will be continually adding photos into our Photo Gallery from the two events!
