Day 117 - Remembering the Vets

Our local Vietnam Memorial

Vietnam Veterans of America truck picked up a TV that we were no longer using, for donation to their organization.    Founded in 1978, Vietnam Veterans of America has 50,000 members and serves veterans from all over the country.  They sponsor vital programs for veterans, addressing mental and physical issues resulting from military service.  Post traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, and homelessness are some of the reasons why VVA is still active.  Interestingly, keeping a positive perception of service during the Vietnam War is one of their missions.  Remembering the POWs, MIAs, and all those who served honorably will always be a major part of their goals.
