Honoring Their Sacrifice. Supporting Their Future.
In Tampa, we stand for Vietnam veterans: honoring the fallen, supporting the wounded, and bringing every missing hero home.
Veterans Who Answered the Call
We are veterans who served during the Vietnam War era, though our return was often met with jeers, disdain, disrespect, and taunting by the very people we fought to protect. We served with honor and bravery under the most trying of circumstances.
We believe it is our responsibility to champion the causes of all Vietnam veterans and veterans of all wars, past and present. We honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice during the war and those who paid with no less sacrifice later from Agent Orange, PTSD, and other wounds seen and unseen.
We will not rest until the fullest possible accounting is achieved for our brothers and sisters who have not yet returned and are still missing. They deserve to be brought home to their families and buried with honor. That is our country's solemn obligation.
"Never again will one generation of veterans abandon another."Vietnam Veterans of America
