THE
ASSOCIATION FOR SERVICE DISABLED VETERANS:
The Association for Service Disabled Veterans (ASDV)
is the non-profit organization that pioneered the concept
of "ENTREPRENEURSHIP" as a valid strategy
in the rehabilitation of disabled in service and prisoner
of war military veterans (SDV).
ASDV
sponsored Public Law 106-50 that legislated a federal
goal of 3% of all federal agency procurement, and
that of their prime contractors, be directed to SDVE.
This legislation also established supporting authority
and institutions to enable the implementation of the
P.L. 106-50 legislation. ASDV and the Task Force for
Veterans' Enterprise (TFVE) also co-sponsored P.L.
108-183 Section 3, unanimously passed by the U.S.
Congress and enacted by the President of the United
States, 20 December, 2003. P.L. 108-183 establishes
SDVE "SOLE SOURCE" and "RESTRICTED
COMPETITION" for federal procurements, Public Law
109-461, "The Veterans Business Promotion Act of
2006" and the Veterans' section of the "SBA
Reauthorization Act". ASDV and TFVE drafted the President's
Executive Order 13360, that directed government
action to assist SDVE.
American
Legion Post 236 is a leader in the response by the
California American Legion to the need to provide
entrepreneurship opportunities for America's Veterans.
