Community-service organization of organizations to support the Lehigh Valley’s active and reserve component military service members, its veterans, and their families. Both a forum and as a focal point organization, that provides the opportunity for an entire regional community “not only a veterans-based one“ to care for its own. Teaches others to help in meaningful ways and advocates on behalf of a substantial, local military-veteran community on issues of relevance and importance. Organizes or supports programs which tackle the support of local military units when deployed, the support of families of service members, the transition of returning veterans, and the recovery of veterans requiring additional help.
