Did you know there is something unique about being a Catholic veteran? Catholic War Veterans, USA, is one of the oldest veterans service organizations in the nation. It was founded in 1935 by World War I Army chaplain Monsignor Edward J. Higgins, L.L.D., to nourish Catholic veterans in their love for God, country and home.
It is the only Catholic-based organization whose membership is solely made up of military veterans and whose main focus is to help other veterans in need. This meant, and still means, assistance to returning veterans and their families, their neighborhoods, fellow Catholics, and all other veterans and citizens in their communities alongside other veterans organizations. Catholic War Veterans, USA, is in all states and has exemplary Catholic action, family-based activities for all service men and women, veterans and families accessible to carry out its programs with the aid of all Catholic veterans in a given CWV post, chapter or department/state. Catholic War Veterans members need only to have served in active duty over a period of time for 90 days, not necessarily in combat.
Catholic War Veterans, USA, exists because of the love of God, country and home, and its growth depends upon prayer, Catholic veteran identity, and mostly by the graces of God, who loves each of us. We are Catholic veterans who love our God, our country and our fellow man, and we strive to live our lives in the presence of a loving God.
