Thanks for your interest in joining Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA). I am providing the following information about our VVA – Chapter 227.

Our chapter is a dedicated group in helping all, not just Vietnam Vets, homeless and other needy veterans in the Northern Virginia area and renewing our service camaraderie. It does not matter whether they served in-country or elsewhere. Someone had to keep the bullets flowing and the Russians out of Europe. We have two members who served on missile crews in Germany. Admiral Zumwalt, deceased, was a member even after he moved to North Carolina. Our ranks range from privates to a three star general and admiral.

Len Ignatowski, our Vice President, puts out a very informative bi-monthly newsletter which I have attached one of our issues for more information about our chapter and our meetings. Note that we have a general meeting the 3rd Thursday of almost every month with interesting speakers. Check in our attached newsletter for meeting details. If your ever have time to honor us at our meeting – please come. Anyone is welcome, including spouses.

Also we publish a bi-monthly National magazine “The Veteran”, which as a member will be mailed to you.
