The NJ-JWV enjoys a warm camaraderie that make you immediately feel welcome. You will associating with people, you will enjoy being at meetings or going out socially. 

Each Post ha an agenda of activities that provides entertainment, informative guest speakers, informing you of VA benefits, outlining benefits that are available and those coming on line. Discussions inform us on congressional funding we have to fight for. Posts go to Veterans Homes and Hospitals conducting social programs such as Bingo, taking them to baseball games, picnics or  just visiting  vets in hospitals and the veterans home..  Helping to bring cheer and companionship to their day. 

Our members go into the public schools and talk to the children about their experiences in the service, their combat experience,  the  background of  the conflicts they were engaged in and field their  questions…. a most uplifting experience.
