The Veterans Affiliated Council is a non-profit umbrella organization consisting of Veteran Organizations, Military Associations, their Auxiliaries, and Patriotic Groups serving the Veteran Community since 1921.

            The VAC activities consist of active participation before the legislature on a regular basis in regard to obtaining benefits and favorable legislation pertaining to all Veterans.  The VAC Honor Guard regularly performs burial services for the funerals of Veterans.  The VAC has also consistently sponsored Memorial Day and Veterans Day Parades around the Capitol to honor all Veterans and remind the public of the service to their country that Veterans have provided and continue to provide today.  The VAC and the City of Sacramento will be sponsoring the upcoming Veterans Day Parade 2004 to be held on Saturday, November 13, 2004.

           While many Veteran Organizations do not have the capability of representing their members before government entities, being located in the Capital of the state, the VAC fills this gap by taking on that responsibility for all Veterans.
