On the move: AMVETS National Headquarters is cleared for take off
After 80 years in the Washington, D.C., area, AMVETS' NHQ is moving to Washington, PA, this spring to better serve Veterans.
In the news
December 11, 2024 -- The $525,000 sale of the synagogue to AMVETS was finalized in June 2024.The national veterans organization will move its headquarters from Washington, D.C., where it has been for 80 years.
​
“The D.C. area was a great home for AMVETS for eight decades, but we know we can always do better,” said Horace Johnson, AMVETS National Commander. “In moving to Washington County, we are moving to the county that has more veterans per capita than any other county in the continental United States. We are moving to our fellow veterans.”
September 16, 2024 --“It’s a wonderful community,” he said. “There’s a very, very high percentage of veterans in the area. It’s very centrally located. That was a huge selling point for our membership. There’s certainly a much more reasonable cost of living than the Washington, D.C. area. We love the two buildings we ended up purchasing. Every day, it seems like we have a new positive experience with someone in the community that we’re working with to make this all happen.”
