Veterans of the Vietnam War, Chapter NY 14

The Veterans of the Vietnam War, a Veterans benevolent organization founded in 1978, was born out of a need to have the service and special needs of the Vietnam War Veterans recognized and acknowledged. The Veterans of the Vietnam War strives through its many programs to maintain, improve, preserve and defend the quality of life of all veterans and their families.

They seek the support of others to educate, assist and support those Veterans within their era that are not coping and are having difficulties after their service to their country. They want you and welcome you as a member of this great organization. Members are the lifeblood of all the organizations and they ask you to consider joining.

The association welcomes both members who served in the Armed Forces of the United States of America as well as Non-Veterans as long as they support the goals of the corporation as well as the Constitution of the United States.
