    This nonprofit is housed on the 2nd floor of a building right off of George Washington University's…read morecampus, which can have an adverse effect on hunting down parking spaces depending on what time of day you come - but, provides you with a smorgasbord of food truck selections should you feel peckish before your class/event at the center . Although the primary focus of the center is to assist disabled veterans with finding career opportunities in the Washington DC area, many of their workshops and events are open to the local veteran community and are held primarily during weekday daytime hours. They also run the Washington DC Kaufman FastTrac class for new and aspiring military veteran entrepreneurs. I came here for the FastTrac program, which I'd highly recommend to anyVET who's contemplating owning and operating their own business. You do have to sign in at the front desk of the building, but sometimes the concierge is inconsistent so I'm not sure if it's a building thing or what - either way be sure to check in with the front desk. There are other nonprofits that inhabit the building but I'm not sure about their mission/focus. At the veterans center on the 2nd floor there's restrooms, two classrooms and a mini-lounge area with materials about other veterans-centric programs/events occurring in the area. They're not open on the weekends but I think that's because the building itself isn't open then. Lastly, check out their facebook page for upcoming events/details: https://www.facebook.com/Nationalvetsgetstarted

    I like this place for its service and the foods and drinks . But their Mbers should refrain from…read morethe Racial Slurs and The profanities used in this place to make it more enjoyable and better Atmosphere for families . They do have those that should be illuminated from membership for not having the right people skills no matter whst past experiences they went through . Its no excuse . But I love this place but it needs better Role Models that can set better examples even among its members . They may have legitimate gripes but its no excuse for bad attitudes thrown around by its members . Anna Ward Needs to be held accountable for the inexcusable behaviors . .i think the only way that racism and hate cannot breach the VFW organization, They need new Leadership . I do not think Anna Ward Is Deserving of that role allowing those bad examples to infiltrate the Organization. It sets a bad example for the communities and the people . Thats why leadership needs change .Anna Ward's friends that come there needs to.be more Respectful and obey our countries laws , No Racism , Discrimination, and more .Under any leadership racism and more should never be tolerated in any place of business or organization. Those that allow it should be held accountable under the law and kicked out banished Forever.No leader of any organization is above the law , Not Even Anna Ward and some of her racst friends she brings in .
