| Monterey Salinas ChapterIt is our hope that USIAV will spread to a national level, but the roots will begin in local communites. The model for USIAV is to build primarily on local programs and volunteer services. Veterans need to know how they can access and contribute to their community first before successfully branching out to others. With this in mind, our journey begins within the communities of Salinas and Monterey California. As we grow so will our chapters. With your support USIAV will become a national community of Iraq Afghanistan veterans.
