We serve as an advocate for Veterans’ rights and concerns, and full participation within the political process.  We support the election of Democratic candidates, especially Veterans. We encourage the appointment of Democratic Veterans or family members to serve on boards and commissions at all governmental levels, educate the public, candidates and public officials regarding Veterans’ issues and serve as a forum for discussion and formulating positions on issues of importance to the Veterans and Military Family Democrats of Burke County, with special attention to under-acknowledged military spouses.
