 … become a member of a very special organization

There aren’t very many “ecumenical”, regional organizations to attend to the concerns of military veterans.

The Lehigh Valley Military Affairs Council is the region’s largest community-service organization dedicated to awareness of, advocacy for, and assistance to the Lehigh Valley military-veterans community. Connect with others, get access to critical resources, and play a role in tackling issues that impact our military-veterans community. Join LVMAC.
