Our Mission
Our association currently has over 150 members. Many are veterans, but all support our mission statement:
To honor and provide assistance to veterans whose service for our nation has protected the freedoms we love and cherish.
We honor our mission statement by never forgetting these phrases:
To honor and provide assistance to veterans whose service for our nation has protected the freedoms we love and cherish.
We honor our mission statement by never forgetting these phrases:
- "All gave some and some gave all."
- "They were there when we needed them."
- "Now, we must be there when they or their families need us."
About GLVFA
We hold monthly meetings at the GlenLakes Country Club, located in North Weeki Wachee, Florida, with a variety of topics relevant to veterans and their families, including VA benefits, VA healthcare, local healthcare, veteran services, identity theft, and local politics affecting veterans, opioid addiction, honor flights, etc. There are no dues or fees to participate with complimentary coffee and donuts at each meeting.
The group has numerous appreciation dinner meetings to improve camaraderie and shared experiences. We also routinely support local veteran organizations' activities as well as annual "Wreaths Across America" at the Florida National Cemetery located in Bushnell, Florida.
Our main fund-raising activity is an annual Veterans Day Golf Tournament, Luncheon, Raffles, and Auctions.
