AVE
Welcome, “Active VEteran”
Who are we?
Our societies are made up of active veterans, who are at least 55 years old and who want to enjoy their 3rd part of life in an active way and share it with friends.
What does “AVE” stand for?
AVE, on the one hand, is a Latin expression and means: “Hello” or “Greetings to you”.
AVE, on the other hand is the abbreviation for “Active Veteran”.
AVE among our members therefore means: Greetings to you, Active Veteran.
