Who we are and what we are about and most importantly where we are going :

The Cold War Veterans Association Is dedicated to the Veterans of the Armed forces who served
during the Cold War Era.

The Cold War Veterans Association (CWVA) is a tax-exempt, federally-recognized 501(c)(19) veterans
service organization

While there are a number of honorable Veterans Service Organizations, there is only one dedicated to
exclusively representing the interests of Cold War Veterans — The Cold War Veterans Association
(CWVA).

The Mission of the Cold War Veterans Association is to:

(1) Fight for rights and benefits that Cold War Veterans deserve;

(2) Educate people as to why the Cold War was fought and why vigilance must be
maintained; and

(3) Provide a fraternal community for men and women whose patriotism binds them
together.

To be eligible for membership, one must have served honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces
at some time during the Cold War period (September 2, 1945 – December 26, 1991).
