All Veterans Center, Inc.

Pete Klementovicz

Vice President

Let me introduce myself,  as Vice President of the All Veterans Center. I am a 21-year Naval Veteran serving in Vietnam. Since my retirement, I have been a continuous member of Veterans of Foreign Wars for 23 years and a continuous member of the American Legion for 20 years. This time spent with these organizations has given me a profound appreciation and dedication to assist Veterans however possible.

Since getting involved with the All Veterans Center 5 years ago, I have been impressed with its mission and purpose in assisting Veterans, their families and the community by the work they accomplished through its various programs (Suicide Prevention, Homelessness, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD, and Food Distribution) giving assistance, advice, referrals, and support.

We are always in need of volunteers who are willing to share the same interests in supporting the All Veterans Center’s Mission.
