Membership is open to any bonafide organization which is:

(a) a veteran's membership organization (or coalition of such organizations or chapters or posts thereof) which enrolls Vietnam, Gulf War*, and all veterans of subsequent conflicts.

(b) administers programs which directly benefit veterans or

(c) an advocacy organization for veterans of Vietnam, Gulf War, and subsequent conflicts, for veteran-related issues whose primary services must include at least one (1) of the purposes for which the NV&GWVC was organized.

...*Gulf War also includes conflicts since that portion of the war concluded by the liberation of Kuwait. Inasmuch as the Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, was not overthrown until the current Iraq War, and continued his hostility toward the United States, supporting anti-American terrorist activities (i.e. operating terrorist training facilities, awarding families of deceased terrorists, and a purported involvement in the destruction of the Murrah Building in April, 1995.)

The NV&GWVC welcomes organizations which include veterans of all conflicts from Vietnam to Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and the War on Terror in general, and/or advocacy groups for such veterans.
