Florida Veterans Service Organizations
The Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs proudly provides representation for some of the following accredited veteran service organizations.  While not all veterans' organizations are listed here, these are generally those that offer national service representation and are Congressionally chartered.  Other veterans' organizations can be found at our LINKS page.

The leadership of these organizations normally changes during the summer months, so if you are aware of changes that haven't yet been forwarded to us, email us and let us know.
