Concept information

Preferred term

American Veterans Committee  

Definition(s)

  • Created by liberal World War II servicemen and women as an alternative to more conservative veterans’ groups like the American Legion, the American Veterans Committee (AVC) became a prominent veterans’ organization in the immediate postwar years. Although it was never able to match the numbers or influence of other national veterans’ organizations, the AVC worked for decades to provide a progressive voice for the nation's fighting men and women.
