Do you remember Tuesday September 11, 2001? What were you doing when you heard the news? I was unemployed at the time, waiting to hear from an interview the previous day, eating breakfast, and watching Good Morning America. The report came in and coverage began, and a few minutes later lives changed forever.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have upped the ante! Free tickets to all veterans for Thursday night August 24, 2023.

AMVETS Family and Friends,

Today I am reminded that Easter is the most important day to Christians worldwide. It is the foundation of their faith, a fulfillment of prophecy, and time of renewal.

AMVETS Family members and Friends,
On behalf of Sons of AMVETS nationwide, we wish everyone health, wealth, and new blessings to count each day in 2023.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Michael 'Mick' Ciesla - Commander
National Sons of AMVETS

Fellow Sons, AMVETS Family, and Friends,
The Christmas message is timeless. It is a day of joy, goodwill, love, peace, and wonderment. From year to year and generation to generation, it does not change. We are fortunate to live in this great country that is dedicated to liberty and freedom of expression.

Last year Sons of AMVETS National Commander Paul Speigle selected Operation Second Chance as his project. Commander Paul garnered support from Sons of AMVETS Squadrons from across the country. Additionally, the AMVETS Family, which includes AMVETS, AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary, Junior AMVETS, AMVETS Riders, plus many friends generously donated to ensure a successful effort.
