can do for you;
ask what you can do
for your country."

About Us

The U.S. Veterans Network was incorporated in 1986 for the purpose of helping veterans with employment. Assisting Veterans For Over 20 Years Now and We do not offer handouts but rather a hand up.

Are you an employer looking to hire a veteran in your area? Click here. If you are a veteran looking for work, this is the place to start! Click here.

Over the years the USVN has evolved from just helping and employing veterans too also donating funds to veteran and non veteran causes.

In this way, we can help veterans in many different ways - by donating to the many veterans groups and also by providing many veterans a way to earn their living by selling our flags, flagpoles, and advertisements for our newspaper The Veterans Gazette.

Our goal is assisting veterans - and we do that in a number of ways. You can find a list of some of the many Groups and Organizations we support below.

We also provide direct support to our military personnel who are currently deployed overseas through letters of encouragement, care packages, and other necessities that will remind our troops of how much they are supported and loved. We remind them of our great appreciation for their contribution to each and every one of us on the home front.

We are contacted on a daily basis from groups and organizations seeking funds or product donations for their cause, and although we cannot help all of them - we do what we can!

A good portion of all flag sales generated from our website goes directly to the American Legion to help fund their many worthwhile community projects.
Some of the other groups and organizations we donate to are:

 
VFW
DAV
PVA
Salvation Army
Boy Scouts Of America
The Hugs Project
The USO

Care packages for troops on duty overseas are not only needed, but they are still the best way to say 'thank you'. While most basic needs of troops are already provided, there are always certain items that are in short supply.
