In commemoration of our 25th anniversary as America’s oldest and largest national LGBT Veterans Service Organization, American Veterans for Equal Rights is offering this special pin as a gift to veterans and service members who join or renew their membership this year.

AVER has helped create change in our successful operation to lift the ban against Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual military service and ensure equality of benefits to the families of our service members and veterans. Numbers count, and this work would not have been possible without the support and gravitas of our valued members. Much work remains, and we can help accomplish more change only if we maintain a strong base of membership. Please consider becoming a member of AVER or renewing your membership.

You can become a member of AVER by visiting our website at AVER.us or OUTVETS.us and clicking the link that says JOIN. Your oath and commitment to protect our nation’s future did not end when you left the military. Your service continues. Please enlist now with American Veterans for Equal Rights and join other distinguished LGBT veterans and service members as we continue the fight to bring freedom and equality to America’s honored LGBT warriors.
