MSN/WHAS11ABC

AMVETS serves more than 20-million veterans and advocates nationwide. Their goal is to improve quality of life for veterans, their families and the communities where they live.

The week-long annual convention is an opportunity for veterans to talk about the issues that directly affect them and help make national change.

WHAS11 spoke to veterans at the convention who are excited about the president’s visit and hope they’re concerns will be heard. The last president they remember speaking at one of the conventions was President Ronald Reagan.
