Korean War Veterans Association

Our magazine publication is used to inform the membership of various monuments and memorials established each year by our chartered departments and chapters and memorial services conducted by them in memory of those who served in the Korean War. Many articles, pictures, and related stories about our members who participated in the War are included. Reports are also published on the tell-america project where members make presentations to students and community organizations about the War and it's purpose. All board and membership meeting minutes are also published. Resumes of election members and election results are also disclosed to the membership. The magazine is published six times a year and mailed to all members.

The national officers are required to be in attendance at many functions throughout the year. These functions include; board of directors meetings, annual Association membership meetings, and Veterans day ceremonies at the national capital or throughout the united states. The organization reimburses all travel expenses to these various mandatory functions for the officers. Fulfillment of our congressional charter requires that an annual financial audit be completed and the report of activities of the Association be presented to congress. As required by the irs, a membership office must be maintained for recordkeeping purposes and fund raising activities.
