Saluting our Veterans


History

The Birth of the American Veterans Ball


The birth of the American Veterans Ball was ignited by a group of retired and separated armed forces service veterans in Stafford, VA.

The American Veterans Ball (AVB) is an annual event and organization dedicated to honoring veterans, preserving their legacies, preventing veteran suicide, and empowering veterans to overcome life challenges. It serves as a platform for veterans, military spouses, dependents, and the wider community to come together and celebrate the enduring legacies of veterans while raising awareness and support for various veteran & youth related initiatives and programs. AVB encompasses a range of initiatives we like to support that includes, but not limited to educational scholarships, youth leadership camps, JROTC programs, and inspiring events that unite veterans and the public in a shared mission of honoring and supporting our nation’s heroes. The AVB event typically features ceremonies, tributes, and opportunities for veterans, military spouses, dependents and supporters to connect and collaborate in a spirit of patriotism and camaraderie. #TogetherIsBetter

The American Veterans Ball was created on (Veterans Day) November 11, 2014.

The American Veterans Ball was birth at a local restaurant called Applebees located in Stafford, VA while the core group enjoyed a free meal and swapped memorable experiences on Veterans Day in recognition of their patriotism and service to their country.

AVB was initially created to provide “ALL” veterans of the “Armed Forces” with the opportunity to participate in an annual service ball similar to our active service components. The most common denominator we’ve discovered among transitioned veterans was that once they were discharged from their respective branches, they experienced an immediate disconnection from these traditional events and comradeship. Yet, despite this disconnection, many veterans still find themselves living out their core values with purpose as civilians while serving their communities and contributing to the greater good as a way of life. Whether in or out of the uniform, we believe that an event such as the AVB creates that pathway to reignite, connect with, and maintain our patriotism with our fellow brothers and sisters through this unique event for years to come. As LEADERS, we were taught to identify gaps, fill the void, bridge the gap, AND accomplish the mission. “SO WE DID,” resulting in the birth of the American Veterans Ball (AVB) – Where PASSION meets PURPOSE.

    1. Comprehensive Support Programs: Develop and implement a range of support programs, including mental health services, employment assistance, affordable housing, homelessness, educational opportunities, and immediate access to care and mental well-being services, to address the diverse needs of veterans, military families, and community youth.

    3. Family and Youth Engagement: Foster active engagement among military families, dependents, and community youth through educational events, mentorship programs, and collaborative activities to build empathy, understanding, and advocacy.
    4. Legacy Preservation: Establish initiatives to document, celebrate, and pass down veterans’ legacies, ensuring their stories and contributions continue to inspire future generations.
    5. Policy Advocacy: Advocate for policy changes at all levels of government to protect and support the rights and needs of veterans, military families, and community youth.
    6. Collaboration: Strengthen partnerships with veteran service organizations, educational institutions, local communities, and government agencies to maximize the collective impact of our mission.
    7. Continuous Evaluation: Implement a robust system for monitoring and evaluating program effectiveness through data collection and analysis, enabling us to adapt and evolve to meet the changing needs of our beneficiaries.
