John Rowan is a Vietnam veteran who served with the United States Air Force Security Service. He has worked on homeless veteran issues since a report titled Missing in America was issued by the New York City Comptroller in 1982. Rowan was one of the chief developers of the first shelter designated strictly for veterans in the United States: the Borden Avenue Veterans Residence in Long Island City, NY. Rowan also served on the New York State Temporary Commission on the Readjustment Problems of Vietnam Veterans and chaired the Homeless Veterans Subcommittee, which outlined programs for rehabilitating homeless veterans. He has committed himself to nearly forty years of service with Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) - serving as Founding President of VVA Chapter 32 in Queens, NY (1981-1983), as a Member of the VVA National Board of Directors (1983 - 1989), as President of the VVA NY State Council (1995-2005), and finally as President and CEO of VVA (2005-2021).- 1
