The Coalition of Veterans Organizations (CVO) will meet this Saturday, February 16th from 10 AM to 12:30 PM at the Montford Point Marine Association, 7011 S Vincennes in Chicago.
We’ll be celebrating African American History Month by hearing from two Original Montford Pointers—Mr. James Reynolds and Mr. Stanley Porter—speaking on their history as original African American Marines when the services were still segregated. Be sure to come and hear their impressive stories. Both are recipients of the Congressional Gold Medal for their contributions to the Marine Corps and desegregation.
We will also discuss the upcoming fundraiser in April.
As always, coffee and donuts will be served!

This Friday—June 21st— there is a rally against Urban Violence and for Peace in the Streets at 7 PM at 78th Place and Throop. CVO firmly supports the movement for peace and has long been a member of Veterans for Peace. Veterans have a unique role to play in this movement. We have seen violence; we have been violent. We recognize that building a secure, safe environment for our children and families means ending urban violence. As veterans, we can bring experience and a respected position in society to the streets. We need you to show up and show the way!
Wear your CVO shirts and hats and show off that you are a veteran!
Come out and support CVO and Occupy the Streets this Friday and show the city and the world that we want Peace!

Very Short Notice: CVO Monday Action: Monday, Oct 21 at 10 AM on the 5th Floor of the County Building in Chicago
CVO is conducting an action to support the Cook County Veterans Assistance Commission (CC VAC). We will meet at 10 AM on Monday, October 21st on the 5th Floor of the County Building, 118 N. Clark Street. We will try to meet with the Finance Committee Chair, John Daley in Room 567 and have them increase the budget of the CC VAC instead of cutting the budget on the backs of veterans!
CVO will be holding its regular March meeting on Saturday, March 15th at the Austin Community Resource Center (the Old Austin YMCA) at 501 N. Central Avenue in Chicago. You asked that we move the meetings around, so we’re holding this one on the West side. Future meetings will be in other areas. The meeting will be from 10 AM to 12:15 PM. Please be on time since we only have the venue for the designated times!
Of course, Coffee and Donuts will be served!
Bring your Individual Dues ($10) or Organizational Dues ($50) to be a member in good standing!
Save the Date! We’re having our Annual CVO Fundraiser on Saturday, May 17th from Noon to 4 PM at the Japan Hibachi Grill at 76th and Cicero. It’s Armed Forces Day! We’ll have live entertainment, an awards ceremony, door prizes and raffles all afternoon! The food there is great! Don’t miss it! Put it in your calendars now and come out and support CVO and veterans. We only have one fundraiser a year and this is it! Tickets are only $25 per person.
We need your support to make CVO the very best we can be! Come and support us at both events!
