AMVETS Post 66 Palm Springs Expanding To Form Post 66 Nashville / Nationwide Membership

American Veterans (AMVETS) Post 66 is a Congressionally-chartered not-for-profit veteran service organization located in Palm Springs. Post 66 is named in memory of fallen gay Army soldier Frank Moulton who was killed in battle in World War II. Post 66 is an inclusive veteran organization that welcomes everyone to join. Many of the LGBTQ members of the armed forces served in silence. Post 66 believes no acrifice should be forgotten so in 2001 we dedicated America’s first LGBTQ Veterans Memorial in Cathedral City. In 2018 this memorial became the California LGBTQ Veterans Memorial. We presented an award to late President Gerald Ford. For fifteen years we have operated the only free veteran transportation from the desert to the h VA Hospital in Loma Linda. We frequently meet with elected officials to preserve and expand veteran benefits. Our service officer can help you and your families receive the veteran benefits they deserve. We have honored all of the Tuskegee Airmen and Pearl Harbor Survivors in our area. We help homeless veterans and visit veterans in nursing homes. We celebrate Peace Day and hold a Memorial Day awards luncheon. Membership dues are only $42 per year. If you would like to join or volunteer to be a driver for our van contact Post Founder and Commander Tom Swann Hernandez at (760) 324-5670 or send an email to tom@amvetspost66.org. We also want to thank all veterans for their service to our great nation.

We also welcome our ally’s as members.
