Welcome to the Forward Party Veterans and Veteran Families Committee! Where veterans, families, and allies come together to foster greater awareness and understanding of the unique experiences and realities of our nation’s veteran community.

  • Our Mission: To build a vibrant community of Forward-aligned military veterans to network and advance the cause of democracy and to foster greater awareness and understanding of veterans' experiences in our broader American society.
  • Our Values: We stand for gratitude, unity, and unwavering support for those who've served and their families. We put these values into action by focusing our efforts on the below topics:
    • Veteran rights, including access to services and care, dignity of service members and a “right to serve.”
    • Supporting veterans on their journey from surviving to thriving physically, mentally, economically, and socially; encouraging and supporting veteran leaders and candidates.
    • Advocating for better, safer training and equipment for our active duty service members to reduce accidental and training deaths; advocating for continued improvement of active duty service member access to mental and physical healthcare to reduce suicide and unnecessary injuries.
  • Why Join: As a member, you'll have the opportunity to be part of a community that values and supports you, connect with fellow veterans and families, and make a difference in the lives of those who've served.
