Membership in the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA)
VVA is a "home of our own" -- a community of fellowship with people who share your experiences, needs, and hopes for the future. Join Chapter 392 for fellowship, volunteer opportunities, and community service. Be as active as your time, talents, and interests allow. Or simply be a proud member of VVA, knowing that your membership helps VVA work for you and your fellow Vietnam veterans.
The VVA national organization keeps less than half of your membership dues. The rest stays at the state and local level to support programs and services for veterans and their families. Membership includes a subscription to the award-winning newspaper, The VVA Veteran, bringing you updates on issues and legislation affecting veterans, as well as unique articles on the people, places, and history of the Vietnam experience.
