These organizations are not only meaningful institutions that advocate for essential democratic principles, but also provide enjoyable spaces to socialize, connect with others, and strengthen community ties. They often require a genuine commitment to democratic values as a condition of membership. For example, groups like AMVETS or the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) require military service by members or their immediate family, while others such as the Eagles or Elks may require a formal pledge or oath. In both cases, expressing a belief in core democratic principles is fundamental.
Civic participation strengthens our communities, supports the health of our nation, and even benefits our personal well-being. Civic Participation-OASH
One organization of admire—especially fitting for the Fourth of July—is AMVETS! Veterans and their families are welcome to join. Join AMVETS.
Happy 4th of July and Thank you veterans for all that you do for our society and communities.
