veterans' organizations
Former soldiers' associations
Veterans' organizations are groups formed by or for people who have served in a country's armed forces.
They range from social clubs and fraternal orders like the American Legion and VFW to advocacy groups lobbying for benefits and healthcare.
Some focus on mutual aid, others on commemorating service or supporting active-duty troops.
