The Ukrainian American Veterans (UAV, Ukrainian: Українські Американські Ветерани, romanized: Ukrains'ki Amerykans'ki Veterany) is a 501(c)(19) non-profit organization of the United States, composed of Honorably Discharged Veterans of the United States Armed Forces, who are of Ukrainian heritage or descent. The UAV obtained its tax-exempt status from the IRS in 1984 and was incorporated in the State of New York in 1987.[1] The organization is governed by a volunteer National Executive Board (NEB), headed by a National Commander, elected at a National Convention.
