Veterans for America (VFA) encourages the American public to support of policies that address the needs of those currently in the military, our veterans, victims of war overseas, as well as initiatives to make our world more secure. VFA builds on the 26-year history of the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation—cofounder and coordinator of the Nobel Prize-winning Campaign to Ban Landmines.

There is a social contract between a nation and those it sends to war.

America’s social contract is broken.

VFA is working to repair this broken social contract.

Our Work Addresses Three Areas:

Before War. VFA works to address the causes of war by encouraging Congress to fully exercise its constitutionally-mandated role in the use of force decisions. VFA also works to ensure decision-makers have sound information before use of force decisions are made.

During War. VFA works to address the conduct of war in several ways. VFA advocates for service-members by working to enact policies that address the needs of our overstretched military.

After War. This includes working to enact policies addressing the readjustment needs of service members. VFA also conducts humanitarian relief operations in countries around the globe where populations are impacted by war.
