About
Veterans for American Ideals is a nonpartisan group of veterans who share the belief that America is strongest when its policies and actions match its ideals.
We dedicated our lives to our country as citizen-soldiers, and we believe that honor, courage, commitment, duty, and country are not just words, but values worth defending. After taking off the uniform, we seek to continue serving our country by advocating for policies that are consistent with the ideals that motivated us to serve in the first place. Our current campaigns are focused on saving the Special Immigrant Visa program for interpreters and translators who served with the U.S. military, protecting refugees, and countering Islamophobia.

Get Involved
Stand up and serve this election day as a poll worker.
Our nation has relied on too few to safeguard our elections for too long. It is incumbent on those who know what shared sacrifice means, to step up and provide reinforcements. For every veteran who leads the way and fills the gap in our election infrastructure, our nation becomes that much safer and more secure.
