And most election officials allow completed registrations to be delivered by organizations such as VVA directly to the elections offices. Members of Congress often begin their careers on the local level. That's why it's important to involve local political leaders in our voter-registration efforts. This shows them that veterans matter, that we mean business, and that we can pay large dividends in the future when these local politicians move into state and national offices. A few evenings or weekends spent registering voters at a card table outside your local grocery store will help ensure vital veterans services are there for you and other veterans and their families in the future.
Veterans have a tremendous impact on the non-veteran population, especially young people.
When veterans stand up for something, it gives that cause greater meaning because of the respect we, who have put our lives on the line for our nation, have earned. It is a mission. Copyright 2001 by the Vietnam Veterans of America. All rights reserved.
