The Senior Veterans Of Parma

I joined the Parma Area Senior Veterans Group in February of 2023, when it was started by Navy Veteran and Former Commander of American Legion Post 572, Tony Kessler. He has been helping Veterans in any way he can since his early days, serving in U.S. Navy. He served on a Destroyer as a Radioman during the Cuban Missile Crisis, which was a scary time in our History. Tony along with his wife, Shirley, are very Patriotic and have done a lot of work supporting and helping Veterans They are like two peas in a pod. It was Tony's passion to start a Non Profit Group that would help restore the Patriotic values of the Past and set the ground work for future generations. He implemented an Administration group of Senior Veterans to aid in his vision and are essential in providing assistance to function like a well oiled machine. With the support of the entire Group, Tony's vision has become a reality. Early on, Tony wanted to go big and establish a National Senior Veterans Group.

Within the beginning of 2024, our group became the first Senior Veteran's of America, Chapter 1. If you are persistent and work hard like Tony and his wife did you can accomplish your dreams. Once the word got out, Tony started getting calls from other communities. Anyone that may have experience implementing additional Chapters to a group is encouraged to help us with this endeavor. Please call Tony Kessler at (440)-263-0507. Your help will be greatly appreciated. We also invite new members to our group. The more members we get, the bigger voice we will have in Government, concerning Veteran Affairs. Our goal is to continue our growth and excel in everything we do.
