The Voice of Arizona's Veterans
Unified Arizona Veterans established on the 28th of December, 1981 at the American Legion Post #1 in Phoenix as an initiative led by the American Legion (TAL), the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) departments of Arizona to collectively promote veteran-related affairs endorsed by a majority of its member veterans service organizations (VSO’s) throughout Arizona.
That's one of the main driving points for why this Newsletter exists, as it helps us fulfill the mission of making veteran-focused news, events, programs, and information easily available to learn about and share.
