Who We Are
Introduction
The National Organization of Asian American Veterans (NOAAV) is a 501(c)(3) American non-profit organization, led by Asian American Veterans. We are dedicated to serving over 310,000 Asian American Veterans in the United States, improving their quality of life by being a key resource, and advocating their historical contributions. Grounded in the belief that all Asian American Veterans have earned the right and privilege to the American Dream, our mission is to assert ourselves to our fellow Americans: Asian Americans are a part of the United States, a part of American history, and we are a group that does consistently contribute to American society. NOAAV honors the sacrifices of Asian American Veterans in service to America and the positive impact they have made. Through various programs, local chapters and public education, we aim to recognize and exhibit the significant contribution of Asian American Veterans who protected and defended American freedom in wars, and to further promote racial diversity in the United States.
